For students just starting out on their instrument, I start of with the fundamentals. That means scales and etudes that assist in getting the student familiar with their instrument and proficient on an elementary level.

Piano Marvel and Alfred's piano methods are a great start for all ages as they have books that are geared toward both younger and older beginners.
