I never make students learn something they don’t want to, and my lessons are very student-led. This early beginner wanted to learn to play Shut Up And Dance With Me (by Walk The Moon) ? so we figured out a way of playing the right notes on the keyboard by using sticky-notes with the lyrics on. Then we had a go at writing the notes onto some manuscript paper so she could take it home to practise. The result was a very engaged learner and a funky little duet to play for mum when she came to pick up. ? And look at those little fingers stretching to the keys ??
