This method has helped me over the years to teach my students from the ground up. Hopefully this guide can be of some benefit to you in your piano
journey.

• Step 2. Prescribe a new Hanon for the student to practice for the next week.
• Step 3. Listen to student’s scales which were prescribed last week, make sure the scales wave up to speed.
