With the very young (preschool), the key is to be quick to give them short things to do. They are incredibly energetic and the hardest part of teaching them is to keep them interested and busy. I would go through as many of the following concepts and exercises until one third of the way through their lesson time, then go back to the beginning. I like to approach their lesson as visiting categories of learning: aural training, visualizing keyboard/ keyboard awareness, tactile (finger dexterity/technique), vocalization, rhythm, and notation. Combinations of these categories are inevitable, especially the physical aspect, which the child craves. In the beginning, relationship is of utmost importance: develop mutual trust, appreciation, and optimism. Some method books have activities for the very young. There are so many methods, and so many different activities, since teaching the very young is challenging. They have less skills and basic understanding then an older child. You can't take much for granted (e.g., ability to distinguish loud and soft on different octaves). Here are some ideas from the recently post video and my experience:in Front of Piano - quickly ask to sit with feet in front.
