Lesson script
Not every song starts on 1. Find the key (sharps/flats / final home). Rewrite four to eight measures as numbers. Use a public-domain tune or [CYNTHIA FILL: which modern charts families may practice on camera]. Done when: your simplified number chart plays cleaner than reading every embellishment.
Instrument paths
- Piano: Numbers first, pretty voicings later.

- Percussion: Form caller announces measures.
Learning modes
- Solo child: Simplify one page.
- Child + parent: Parent helps spot the key only.
