I agree with copying by ear, but not with starting with a hand key.
Get a paddle and use a keyer (either internal or external). You'll
send better code and it will be a lot less strain on your wrist and arm.

I can only add to your note::

ear.
is to find a quality CW operator to help the new operator to get
the rhythm of the character correct.
