Actually the two can go hand in hand. Say you learn the first 4 fingered notes on an open string. That can be reinforced by teaching "Mary Had a Little Lamb" which can be played in that one position. Its good to keep a balance so that way as you learn the technical, youre also learning how to apply it in a musical context.

I agree. Learning a song, particularly one for which you have the music, improves your sight reading. My 9-year-old takes piano and I practice along with her, which helps my timing as well.
