For beginning students, I like to start from Essential elements, Suzuki 1, or Piano Adventures. Students will also likely have a theory workbook or worksheets that match the level of their current repertoire.

This will really help develop a great internal sense of rhythm and help students recognize immediately when something needs correcting. Read More

For me it is essential that a student learn first all the techniques exercises and then start to create music.

For beginning cello students of all ages, I normally use one of my teacher's method books: Cellocity by Helga Winold of Indiana University.
