My DS is 5.9yrs and I'd like him to start learning an instrument. We have a piano at home and many many years ago I learnt the piano up to Grade 8 and was pretty good at it.
Up till now DS hasn't expressed any interest in learning, just sometimes singing while I play a nursery rhyme type of thing.
But he says he wants to learn to play the piano, not sure if he is serious or not, he is not the musical type, but I'm thinking of teaching him a bit to start with and if he IS interested then getting a proper teacher in.
He is not really a willing learner at home, but does well at school taught by teachers, so I'm not sure who much he will learn from me.
If there any books/teaching schemes that anyone can recommend to get started? Or should I just get a proper teacher from the start?

Has anyone ever taught their DC piano without a proper teacher? Initially anyway..
