It really does not matter which instrument you play or what grade of playing you are at. Just learn the piano blues and you will get better as a pianist. As a person who plays the saxophone a lot and writes quite a bit of music, I realized that playing the piano could be of quite a great help like for musical ideas, helping write arrangements for other instruments and it is also quite a stress buster. And not to forget, you could also accompany performers when you get a chance. Once you have learned the piano blues, you have kind of also learnt rock and roll. That is because rock and roll music was developed out of the blues music.
And this makes these two styles harmonically very close. Another advantage is that you can pick up a few easy patterns on both hands and keep practicing every day so that you can become proficient in it. And every day practice will definitely make you proficient and you should also be able to compose the music on your own.
This will really impressive and improvise the style of blues just with a little extra speed. Watching the finger movements of a few pianist friends of mine, standing next to them and at times watching their fingers from above is what broke the ice for me. I took i8t slow from there breaking down each part got me to realize how easy it was. Speed comes with practice. It is usually said that kids pick up faster than adults, that's true but the strong desire to learn can teach anyone anything. So finally learning to platy the blues on the piano will not only helps you to improve the basic techniques on piano but it will also helps you as a spring board to play other styles such gospel and jazz.
And if you know only the piano blues then don't get worried you can make fun by having the jam sessions with your friends.
