I don’t believe that children should learn to play the piano with tricks and quick methods of learning a few tiny songs.
Adults may need instant results but children don’t.
Children learn to play the piano with proper lessons with ease. they enjoy learning to read music and understand the squiggles and dots on the page. For them, it is just another special code like everything else at school.
So I always teach children properly. they learn to read music from day one as they play the piano.
When learning the piano it is necessary to learn the notes and the various ways they can be played, How to play notes loud, soft, and in between, how to use the pedals together with using both hands at the same time. Sometimes the left hand plays louder than the right hand and vice versa.
Then there is the reading of music that informs which notes to play when to play loud or soft when to play short sharp notes etc.
This is what makes the playing of the piano so magical and children love it. The skills learned are invaluable in the whole of their future life.
