Individual approach always (there is no other way to teach music). There is a huge variety of goals a student might have, so this is the first thing to find out. For the piano: technique (scales, chords, etude); classical music (with gradual raising of difficulty level); approach to popular songs if it’s interesting to the student. Theory and composition: classical aspects of theory – intervals, chords, keys, modes; practical usage of these elements; other music analysis (in terms of harmony, form, orchestration, so that the student could understand how it works and implement the techniques into their own material).
