Preparing for the Piano

I asked a few classmates about some strategies I could use to prepare myself to learn piano songs from sheet music. One of my classmates mentioned that writing music note letters above the note helped them to learn songs faster. So, before touching the piano, I wrote the music letters above each note in pen.

Here is the very good and very professional video of my learning that I created:
