[TPIN] Adult student methods

[Scott Ruhe]

I'm sure this topic has been discussed ad nauseum - I've just never seen it, or don't remember seeing it.  I tried searching the archives, but I must be doing something wrong, because I had to go month by month, starting back in the early nineties, and after nodding off somewhere around 1997, I figured it would be a better use of my time to simply ask.  So, for the teachers on the list:  
 
What method books are you guys using for beginning adult students who already play another instrument?
How about for beginning adults who've never read music before?
 
In fact ... just as a sanity check:
 
What methods are you using with kids and/or adults between their very first-time-ever lesson through starting to work in Arban's? 
What (if anything) do you use to supplement during that time, at various levels?  What do you use to supplement Arban's?
 
Thanks for your input!
