Haha i am an exact replica of you   - i will (probably) teach piano lessons to beginners during school, and im kind of prepearing now.  I am going to use flashcards for note names, easy music books with excercises, and maybe even play mp3s of pro's for fun.  i dont think youre going to 'mess anyone up' really, unless you say "ok take off your shoes and socks, youre going to learn how to play the piano".  As long as you relay the basics to kids, thats whats necessary. Any cdomments anyone (with experience)?
