Answer 2

For me, it basically gets down to muscle memory. After practicing a piece of music enough times, you just get a better feel of where the next hand placement should be. It's the same thing with guitar. That's why some guitarists can even play the instrument behind their head. On either instrument, you don't have to focus on each hand independantly once you get used to the timing. It's the same way people can sing and play at the same time; if you learned them independantly of each other you may need to do a bit of relearning / practice to remember how to make them work together but it really just gets down to practice. In regards to reading music, it's really the same thing. Practice helps you to recognize certain chords. Even then, if you get a new piece of music it may take a little time and practice to make sure you've got it worked out correctly. A good piano teacher can help you learn the basics more quickly, and then you can run with it from there.

Answer 3
