I recommend those pieces which are full of repeating patterns and scales, no acrobatic fingering required, fitting in the hands very nicely.

Actually only a little amount of people can actually play and sight-read. Piano lessons with the purpose of examination have been associated with so many disappointments passed from one generation to another. This has had a negative impact on the development of music as a language, on music as a performing art and on the music industry in general.

My first year students might play really easy duets and learn some pop riffs. Given they take a week or two to master the pieces, there is less anxiety and frustration and the students can just play to enjoy. The idea of playing more pieces in a year than is required for an exam is all about breadth of repertoire and having fun.

To prepare yourself for the piano lessons, the best thing that you can do, is to realize that it is, in fact. The piano learning is one which requires a strong commitment on your part to learn. Many students did not realize that making progress on the instrument requires daily practice, it is virtually impossible to progress by practicing once a week.
Concepts take time to settle in and be digested. Most piano teachers recommend practicing from 30 to 60 minutes per day. Practicing 3.5 hours, once a week, is not the same thing as 30 minutes per day. Even if you can get 15 minutes of practice in on busy days, that is better than nothing.
