Lesson script
Look at a group of two black keys. The three white notes around them are C–D–E. C in front, D in the middle, E in the back. Around the group of three black keys, Cynthia’s childhood picture: the three black keys are a house. F is the Front door. B is the Back door. Inside lives a baby who says “GA” — G then A. Find every C–D–E set. Find every F–G–A–B house. Done when: you can land on any C without hunting randomly.
Instrument paths
- Piano: Landmark drill: two-black → CDE; three-black → FGAB house.
- Strings: Match piano C to a sung or bowed C if you have a reference pitch.
- Percussion: Tap once each time a C is found.
Learning modes
- Solo child: Child finds five different C’s using only the two-black landmark.
- Child + parent: Parent covers labels/stickers if any; child uses landmarks only.
- Family: One plays a C, another finds the matching C an octave away.
