This reminds me of the first time I was able to play a song on the piano with two hands. It was at the end of this beginner’s practice book, you learn by playing with one hand and then the other. The last song in the book you’re supposed to play both. I practiced the right hand over and over until I felt like I could play it without thinking about it too much, then I did the same thing with the left hand. As soon as I decided I would play with both, my hands started moving on their own and I kinda freaked out and had to walk away from the piano for a bit, I was sort of surprised, it felt natural and sounded a lot better than just one at a time. It was one of the only times I remember the exact moment I switched from thinking about every detail and just letting my hands do their own thing
