answer:Ask the student if they know how to play anything. Most people know how to play some part of some song. Maybe having the sheet music for the popular ones would be neat. The can see what they play on paper. Chop sticks, The Entertainer, Row Your Boat, Stairway to Heaven (maybe that one is only for my geeration). I remember learning the notes, doing scales, and playing some simple songs. I don’t know what books to suggest. I took piano so long ago and just for a few months Because we moved and I never took it up again.
