Alert! Your child or student may not actually know what they're playing. There's a really easy way to check, but without checking it's almost impossible to notice the difference.

Just ask them to start from anywhere. Pick a random spot in the music and if they aren't able to figure out the hand position, note, rhythm and start, there's an issue. Comprehension is usually the biggest problem for beginners and the smarter they are, the more they compensate and the harder it is to catch.
