You should teach him the first few minutes of Debussy’s Clair de lune.
Slow pace but beautiful.

I will eventually. I’m going to test him next week. I want to show him the pattern to make major scales, and his homework will be figuring out different scales we didn’t work on in lesson.

I watched YouTube videos to learn enough to teach my kids and they are both much better than I am.
I just labeled keys so I guess the groupings are what you call scales? I literally have no knowledge but can play decently.

Many types of scales. But basically they are a set group of notes played in a specific order. Based on the intervals, you get a different type of scale.
Most western music is based off of the major or minor scale.

Just enough to be able to sit down at a piano and play for a bit.

Now you will have to have the unfortunate conversation that either starts or ends with “you’re just not as talented as the autistic kid, sorry”.

Actually there’s a pretty easy trick if a student isn’t working out… Just make it boring.

imo, all “real”/true musicians…song writers, producers, etc. can play the piano
i personally do not consider someone a full “musician” unless they can read/play notes, and also play the piano (even if they focus on another instrument)
