Lesson script

Right hand ascending:
Thumb (1) on Middle C → 2 on D → 3 on E → thumb under to F → 2 G → 3 A → 4 B → 5 on the C above.

Say the letter names as you go. Slow is correct. Release each key as the next speaks.

Done when: one clean ascent saying C D E F G A B C.

Instrument paths

  • Piano: RH only; thumb-under between E and F.
  • Strings: Sing or pizz the ascending letters.
  • Percussion: Eight soft taps, one per scale degree.

Learning modes

  • Solo child: Child alone: three slow ascents.
  • Child + parent: Parent sings letters while child plays; then swap.
  • Family: One plays scale, one claps after each note.
