answer:It depends on what you mean by “playing the piano” and “learning to type”. I’ve been playing piano for three years. Compared to some people, I’m good – compared to Mozart, I no more play the piano than know how to crochet. That said, I think playing the piano blind-folded would, in some ways, be easier than with use of your eyes. I constantly try to keep my eyes off the keys. For the most part, trusting my fingers to know where they should go works much better!
