Thinking. Hang on. Calling for Muse...

One thing I remember is that she (Sister Mary Colleen) set up the metronome and had us punch keys to the rhythm. "Never mind if you know you hit the wrong key, just keep moving to the beat." That was in the very beginning...2 beats/second, I guess. Then moving to a quicker pace, etc. As the lessons went on, no more metronome...we had our own natural rhythm.
Yes, brute rote muscle memory brought about by repitition. You quit smoking, you can also learn to not look at the screen. A few classes and you'll be on your way.

I suggest a real person to teach you because you, as the student, will more likely follow a good teacher and learn much more quickly.

Edit: This is what I meant: You quit smoking, you can also learn to not look at the *keys*.
