Instead of focusing on music and sound, music teachers try to teach note names, sitting posture, curving your hands ect

Poor hand and back posture can lead to very serious injury, potentially even the loss of mobility. Of all the tedium of learning to play the piano, this is one area you should not skip.

Further, you need to learn note names so you can communicate with others about your music. You need to learn good fingering or you'll never be able to play fast, and your fingers will be tripping over themselves all the time.
