Exactly, you just need to train your hands to do what you already know how to do with your feet. (a big head start over many people) I'd try to find an open area to practice because as the bike starts to move it pulls you back (especially if you release the clutch a little too quickly) and by moving back you roll on more throttle and grab the bars more tightly (usually dumping the clutch) and you may need a little room to get composed again. Just imagine all those funniest home videos of someone learning in the back yard, hitting fences or swing sets or clothes lines or.....well you get the idea.
