I like to talk with the student about their interests, musically and outside of music. Once we build rapport, I start at the beginning - show the parts of the grand piano, their names, how they work. Read an engaging story about the invention of the piano.
Once the student has background about their new instrument, I teach how to sit at the instrument - how to adjust the bench themselves. I involve parents, show them how to do this at home. (Parents are encouraged to observe the lessons and participate in their child's practice at home.)
Beginning lessons include learning pieces that use the full instrument - all the range, not just "Middle C hand position." Students explore pieces with pedal, various techniques and styles (e.g. loud/soft) right from the start!
I also use a hands-on approach (after asking permission of the student) to shape their hands and fingers, the "playing mechanism," to play artistically and with good form. This is called "molding the hand."
--------------------
For students with previous piano experience, I ask about their former experience - teacher's style, former repertoire, practice/performing experience and habits.
From there, I give an assessment. The student plays for me, and I evaluate four areas of performance: Technique, Practice, Musicianship, Literacy.
After the assessment, I prepare a plan of study, individualized for that student. This plan is communicated to the student and parents. It considers which areas are strengths for the student and which areas will receive concentrated focus for progress.
After a specified duration of time, when goals are met, the student can progress into a regular course of piano study - lesson book curriculum, or intermediate/advanced repertoire.
For students who are preparing an audition, instruction will focus on audition material requirements.

Special Needs
Look for a teacher who is trained to teach AND to play. Look for certifications, formal music training or degree. Look at teacher's pedigree - who they studied with. Ask about teaching style/techniques.
