Why do modern lesson books and SO much teaching revolve around learning C position? And what did Chopin think of the C Major scale? Who's better to listen to?

In today's video, Charles takes you through why C Major is such a difficult key to learn first and explains why B Major was actually the first scale Chopin taught all of his beginner students.
