how do i get more coordinated with my left hand?

Question

i'm learning to play the piano. i can play easily when i play with just my right or left but i have trouble playing with both hands at the same time. its not timing because i know when to come in and everything i just can't play with both hands together. are there any ways to make my left hand more coordinated
(i'm right handed normally btw)

The only answer to this question is more practice. You are unaccustomed to playing with both hands at the same time, exactly what you said - a coordination problem.
Try starting by practice with each individual hand until you've really perfected the individual parts. Then combine them together. Start off at a slower tempo if necessary. 

Remember that no matter how complex, difficult, and challenging a passage is, you can ALWAYS play it perfectly if you slow it down enough. 
Try practicing with a metronome, and slowing working your way up to speed.

Hi Temari,

I actually have a free online piano lesson that shows you how to play with both hands together. It's called "Reflections in Water."
