Teaching Experience in detail in Piano Classes

The first very simple but important principle of my teaching method — known as Western Classical Piano Method — is to begin learning at least 50% of all new pieces with the left hand. Why is this so important? Well, all over the world there is a curious phenomenon… at least 95% of all piano students will freely tell you that their left hand is weaker than their right, both in technique and in note reading. How could this be? The answer is simple. All over the world, at least 95% of well-meaning and otherwise good piano teachers are doing their students a disservice by making a simple mistake, and that is they habitually teach the right hand first. Logically, rare exceptions aside, if God gave you and me two hands, why would we habitually favor one hand over the other? Surely, logic would suggest that we should start new pieces with the left hand at least 50% of the time. And yet the majority of teachers always start with the right hand (to the detriment of the left hand). If you ask them why they do it, they don’t know. That’s just the way they’ve been taught, and it’s how their teachers before them were taught. And so they haven’t thought the process through. So, as simple as it sounds, it is very important to get into the habit of starting with the left hand at least 50% of the time. If every piano teacher around the world did this, you would quickly start to see the erroneous collective consciousness among piano students that says the left hand is somehow harder than the right hand dissolve away, and students everywhere would become equally proficient in each hand.
