List, I recently had a grad student come to me and ask about learning to do piano work as a TA or Work Study. To make a long story short, it's been approved and he'll probably be starting some time next week. He's a composition major and also a pianist and is a TA already, so they're just transferring 4 hours a week to me. I know it's not much but it's 4 hours help I've never had before and at least it's a step in the right direction! Since I've never really trained anyone from scratch, can someone who maybe has, give me any ideas about the best way to go about it? I figured probably mostly shop type work in the beginning and later, start him learning to tune. I'm going to try and get the Reblitz book to at least give him something to study and learn a few things that way. Any suggestions to make this work smoothly and be beneficial to him as well as me, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
