My friend and I are new to Japanese, and we are trying to make sentences.

We tried to translate this sentence to Japanese:

> I can't play tennis, but I can play the piano.

And this is our Japanese sentence:

> テニスができない、でもピアノを弾くことができます。  
>  Tenisu ga dekinai, demo piano o hajikukoto ga dekimasu.

Is this sentence correct?

english-to-japanese
Is this Japanese sentence correct?
That's one way to say that in Japanese, except that in this case the reading
for 弾く should be ひく rather than はじく.

(Edit: Also, per user385630's comment, please note that since でも as "but" or
"however" can only be used at the beginning of a sentence, you'd also need to
correct that. You could do so by splitting this into two sentences or by
rephrasing with が or けど. Sorry not to have caught that before!)
