As an experienced piano teacher of all levels from the earliest beginner to very advanced, I have found that too much reliance on using finger numbers in place of notes and hand positions will cause problems when the student starts to advance away from 5 finger position pieces which is the real world. I very quickly move my students away from this. Finger numbers and hand positions are a conveninet "crutch" for rank beginners, but often, I find that when a student comes to me after a few months with another teacher, I must often spend a lot of time training them out of reliance on hand positions and reading finger numbers.
