Strangely, this may be due to two things which have nothing to do with hand-eye coordination (or so it would at first seem. . . ):
1. Playing in steady time. Even if you're playing S L O W E R than the suggested speed, that your hands (and really, the rest of your body) move in good steady time.
2. Knowing where your fingers are. Yes, this sounds like a big "DUH," but I have had students and friends need prompts when to move their thumbs to the next part of the scale/piece. You may even need to say it. . . again, with good internal time.
The random third thing:
3. Always breathe in time. . . and seriously, don't forget to breathe. You can get so nervous/weirded-out/preoccupied that you forget to breathe. You forget to breathe, then you do something with your body out of time. . . or even worse, you do it with less oxygen than you would say, using Purdy brushes to paint stuff.

Will: No, not a lick. I mean, I look at a piano, I see a bunch of keys, three pedals, and a box of wood.

CRAP
Beginning in the 1800's, this famous pangram that includes all the letters of the alphabet has been used exclusively to test typing speed and accuracy.
Not my type! <
See ya Monday
