Your first lessonI always start with introducing myself. I then go out to explain white and black keys high and low sounds, clap different rhythms, dance to at least one song, sing a sofage song together, play old McDonald on the black keys or chopstick or dog bingo song, then I show how to write notes and how to practice C position and show/memorize finger number’s together using 2-3 songs like thumb thumb thumb thumb is number 1, two two two pointer finger two,, and so on!

Review finger numbers that way and rhythms too

Then I’ll go on to show white key and play games to memorize all the white keys and the musical alphabet letters, then I’ll go over how to compose songs using rhythms, finger numbers and alphabet letter note names.
