    Scales and arpeggios are some great practice. Here are some ideas that will help you develop both hands and your coordination:

    Major Scales:
    Go through all 12 scales - 3 octaves with your right hand (only), then your left hand (only).
    Then do the same with both hands together.
    Then do 2 to 1 - two notes on the scale in the right hand to every one in the left.
    Then do 2 notes on the scale in the left to every one in the right.
    Then to the same with 3 to 1, then 4 to 1 (probably need a piano for that)

    Then do the same with arpeggios.

    I hope this is helpful
