A couple of times. I learned initially as a kid, then in college I took two semesters of piano, then in the last year I’ve delved heavily into keyboard playing.

I taught my 5 year old where C was and it took about 2 minutes.

Training wheels are an apt metaphor because they are a similarly wrong way to learn to bike. You get quicker initial results, but have to unlearn to use those crutches later on.

What qualifies you to speak to the usefulness of techniques you've never personally used? Being able to learn without them doesn't mean they don't help in learning.

Just 87 more keys to go! At 2 minutes per, only 2 hours, 52 minutes until they're playing Mozart's. Now if only that's how it actually works.
