First piano lesson with 5 year old Lewis Feng (30 mins no edits)

Lots of piano teachers around the world (Aus, Europe, South America, Middle East) ask how we engage with our students interactively and match their energy.

Watch 23yo piano teacher Isabelle Ng teach 5yo Lewis Feng, very energetic little boy.

Note: there was also a toilet break which couldn’t be helped 🤣 I decided to leave it unedited.

I will maybe edit another version 👍

Hope you enjoy!

Wow, not every 5 years old can sit still for such a long time and follow the instructions ❤

I just watching nearly 4 minutes and I already love this teacher

I need a guitar teacher like this for my son that has patience and understands that 5 years old is just a small child that it needs to be fun for

[StevePaulSounds]

You’re such an amazing teacher!!! You’re my teacher trainer now! I’m hoping to teach a 5 year old! Thank you

This was so helpful, I always struggle with structuring a lesson for kids.

0:35 Finger number, Music Alphabet, White and Black keys, Finding the Cs
2:00 Flash Cards (Clef, Middle C-E, Rhythm)
21:00 Book (Music Theory Revise, Bar, Only Presentation, Count)

I know this video is a year old, but as a fellow piano teacher, I highly recommend you take a look at the “Tales of a Musical Journey” method by Irina Gorin for this age. It teaches children theory concepts through stories, and really helps them use their imagination - not to mention the wonderful approach it uses in teaching healthy technique.

Children are much more likely to remember the concepts they learn, because they relate them to characters and stories. It is more effective, and fun (for both of us! 😊) than drilling Flashcards.

Also, I can totally relate to the: “Put your feet down.” “I know you love your feet, but…” 😅 The 5 year olds always love their feet don’t they? 😆

Thank you for this video, I’m about to have my first 5 year old pupil and it’s good to get some tips. All ages are so different.

[kabuwanqin]

Thank you omgggg it helps me first lesson plan assignment which is due today 😂 yay

[katchilothong]

Wow I really liked you teaching technique. I would like to implement those in my teaching.

[ViennaHundt]

"Very smart"... Very Asian way of telling your pupil he has done a great good job 😸

[khrusev.]

Aaawwnn he's got my name 🙈🙈🙈 and guess what I play the piano too

[charlotted]

So in a first lesson should i cover position, middle c, clefs, octaves and notes all in one lesson? Depends on the student i guess and if they were told anything beforehand

[davidcas]

No puedo enseñar tantas notas ala misma vez que pilas esos niños

[thepianoplayer]

Cute. Surprise the teacher didn't teach songs by ear in L1 than trying to introduce reading right away.
Can never agree on drilling students on note names by "rote". Some people learn foreign languages the same way by memorizing words & phrases. The student is actually spending more time learning the name of notes & beat values that have all sorts of funny names while he hardly played a song.

I'm learning how to play the recorder
