Piano as occupational therapy

I have an idea

I'm going to borrow a keyboard and play piano for a few weeks.

Piano was my first instrument and I can still read music, but I haven't played in nearly a decade. If I practice everyday, I bet the fine motor skills in my right hand will improve—hopefully to the point where I can play without looking at my hands.

I wonder what the occupational therapist will think.
