What is a good lesson plan to teach beginner's piano to toddlers?

I'd take lessons. It's never too late to start. The good thing about piano is even if the piece your playing is easy, it can still sound really good. You'll probarbly be able to play with two hands after a month or so if you learn quickly. I started playing keyboard when I was 7, then quit and started proper piano lessons when I was 8. I'm 13 now so I've been playing for quite a while and I love it. I've never wanted to do grades or anything but my friend did and I think she does about a grade a year. :) Good luck! :)

I can't imagine teaching a 5 year old! But the Suzuki method has pretty good success with young kids. See what you can find out about it.

Kids that age learn through play. I wouldn't try to explain a lot or try to teach things like time signatures. I like the idea of the stuffed animals. Also, make it a game and start right off by showing them how to play something simple with two fingers. Remember that their hands are really little and their fingers are short- they are not going to be physically able to stretch their fingers to reach the keys that adults reach.

well firstly 5 years old isn't a toddler...

you need to explain to them the keys/clefts/how to read music first before you even try to introduce them to a piece.

I remember my first piano lesson- my teacher had two stuffed toys: mozart the mouse and beethoven the bear. Mozart was "in charge" of the treble clef/ high register and beethoven the bass so it was less tedious and more enjoyable as a kid.

You can also use little stickers and place them on the keys with notes written on them e.g. C,D,E,F,G etc. so it's not so daunting at first.

You could also impress them by playing a piece first- not too long otherwise they'll get bored!

good luck
