Wouldn't it be nice if there was a piano learning pill. You take a pill, then you're automatically able to play well any song, any key. I tell students that if there was such a thing, I would already have found out about it and would be selling it right now.
It may sound "low tech" but the truth is, learning to play the piano takes practice - and not a 2-hour "cram session" right before your lesson. I recommend 20 minutes, 5-6 days a week for beginning students and it increases as the student progresses in their playing. I also recommend short increments of 10 minutes or so per session, so you might do two or more sessions in one day. This has to do with concentration.
An hour of practice with very little concentration or thinking about what you're playing is probably a waste of your time. The sad fact is, our attention span is not very long so you'll be more successful if you divide your practice sessions into short increments of time.
