I really love the concept of the “O’s” fingertips is telling the little ones to press the “chocolate chips into the keys.” This gives them a “visual” to press those fingers with consistecency.
Regarding hands together coordination: my students love the challenge of a simple 5 finger scale (C, G or F for beginners) of one hand staccato while the other is legato. Then, when they have mastered that, SWITCH. Then, add an 8 octave scale. 🙂
