First Piano Lesson for a 4-Year-Old: Easy Lesson Plan
You've agreed to teach a four-year-old piano.
Now what are you actually going to do for the entire first lesson?
A traditional beginner piano lesson probably isn't going to work. Four-year-olds need to move, touch, listen, explore and change activities frequently.
The good news is that you don't need dozens of activities.
For this first preschool piano lesson, we're going to do just three things: move with sidewalk chalk, explore long and short sounds, and play a game with the black keys.
That's enough for a great first lesson.
🎹 Little Fingers Jingle Bells: A Christmas Duet for Preschool Piano Students
When preschoolers play Jingle Bells — and stay engaged the whole time 🎶
If you’ve ever tried to teach Jingle Bells to a preschooler, you know how quickly things can fall apart.
Little fingers wander, attention drifts, and suddenly your adorable holiday moment turns into… chaos with sleigh bells.
That’s why I created Little Fingers Jingle Bells — a simple call-and-response duet designed just for preschoolers. It turns one of the most beloved Christmas songs into a joyful back-and-forth between teacher and student.
