For beginners, I would first teach them the basic sitting and hand postures, basic note-reading, and basic music theories. After they know how to play piano in an appropriate posture, I would like them to start with Hanon piano exercises.

Other than those basic exercises, I would also like to introduce them to one to two simple pieces that are fun to play. Read More
