Yes - I agree. Piano skills definitely make it easier to pick up touch typing.
I learned piano earlier in my life and then learned touch typing (and shameless plug: built https://www.typequicker.com) later on in life and I definitely had a easier time than some of my peers.
I’m curious - what course did you take (might have been a while) ? I’m hoping to built features in TypeQuicker for institutional clients (schools, tutoring agencies, etc) and I’m doing research on what some schools currently use.
Many don’t have any courses at all so it’s a hard sell right now
Ehm.. I'm afraid I don't remember, although I doubt it would be of use to you if I did :). I'm Dutch and this was in the '90s. It was a course organized by the local community center using some Dutch book made for Dutch typewriters (so I actually had to unlearn where the dedicated IJ digraph was when I switched to computers).
