Here’s the thing about “keep at it,” that doesn’t work for everyone. Handwriting is arguable, if I go about 20% of normal people’s writing speed I can indeed make something reasonably legible on the page, but no amount of practice gets that up to full speed.
Same thing with piano playing, three times in my life I have gone through the lesson books - I have a good ear, I can pick out a tune with or without sheet music, with a bit of practice I can read music and play it fluently: one handed. The second book is about adding in the second hand, kids that “get it” breeze through the second book quicker than the first and go on to higher and higher lessons. I am stuck forever at rudimentary two hand playing, my ear-hand coordination falls apart when trying to coordinate two hands to the music. That doesn’t apply to typing, I type two handed just fine, but more than a single note on the left hand is just beyond my capacity to play fluently - like some people can’t remember more than (or even) seven or eight numbers at a time - that’s just their capacity, I’m stuck at six fingers on the piano, I might be able to pull off two fingers on each hand fluently if the transitions aren’t too varied. Same kind of analogy for juggling, most people max out around 5 balls in the air, that’s just their limit no matter how much they practice. Others, I’d wager limit at four, or three.
