| Re: What note to start on???
Most method books start with G in the staff, then work down to low C. The advantage of G is that the student can check the correctness of this pitch using 13 as an alternate fingering when practicing at home. When starting with a teacher c in the staff can be a good note to aim for -- the higher our middle, the easier the upper register will be. Young muscles tire easily, however, and bad habits will surely be formed if the student goes for the high note at any price. Therefore, good 'ol G in the staff is a safe place to start. Good luck.
