In the early stages of keyboard tuition, I've found that for some children it really helps to work with books aimed at PIANO pupils: when they come to try keyboard books, they can handle the rhythm sections and requirements so much more easily. But I do know that for some kids, their priority is to get going with the rhythms asap.....
Congrats to Tokio Myers for winning "Britains got Talent" recently. It is so encouraging to see a pianist doing so well, and even more encouraging that classical music has obviously influenced his compositions.
