Lesson script

Open the “Playing With…” pages. Pick two chord colors today (for example C and Am). Play the patterns slowly. Say line/space or note names if the page asks.

This is fluency, not performance pressure.

Done when: two chord-color pages feel familiar under the fingers.

Instrument paths

  • Piano: Book patterns for chosen chords.
  • Strings: Drone the chord root.
  • Percussion: Soft groove only if it helps steady time.

Learning modes

  • Solo child: Child chooses the two colors.
  • Child + parent: Parent keeps tempo with a finger on the page edge.
  • Family: Family assigns colors and trades pages.
