I have been teaching  basic piano lessons for 30+years. (In my home, After school -at school)
-I like for my classes to be fun.(with games included.)
-One on One classes work with students where they are at and go at the pace each students can handle.
-I use the Edna Mae Burnum Step by Step Book ( no cd required) Students are responsible to purchase their own books.
-We will discuss new material and have examples.
-I love the interaction between teacher and student. It always creates a special bond.
-I have also taught Elementary Music in Private Schools for 15+ years

CLASS ONE/  Number fingers, find black and white keys,  Find MIDDLE C, learn Treble and Bass clef, RIGHT Hand - Treble Clef, LEFT Hand- Bass Clef, Learn  middle C note,  Play middle C on page 9, 10, 11, Bar lines and Double Bar lines, quarter not C, Half note C, and Whole note C, and play tip toe on page 13.

It is important to go at each individual student's pace. So, in some classes, we may get farther than expected. While some students may have to, not go as fast. When we push students too fast, lessons can become too difficult, therefore,  students loose interest. 
.-There are 8 levels of the Step by Step Edna Mae Burnam books that I teach from. They break it down into tiny steps that make it easy for the learners.
-I will sometime require Edna Mae Step by Step (Solo Books and Theory Books) as I see what each child needs throughout our lessons. That is why individual piano lessons are important.
-Practicing 20-30 minutes a day is KEY to learning to play the piano. At first 20 minutes a day is GREAT, as the songs get harder 30 minutes day will be best.
-It is important for parents to partner with the teacher and encourage practice. Parents could reward your child, if they have practice everyday for a week. I usually award students for practicing with "in person" classes.
-Learning to play the piano is a GIFT that will last a lifetime.
