Lesson script

Numbers make singers happy. If 1–4–5 is in C (C F G) and you need Key of G, 1–4–5 becomes G C D.

Also know keyboard transpose buttons: each click is a half step — but understanding numbers means you can still think musically when the button is gone.

Take your eight-measure chart and play it in G.

Done when: same numbers, two keys, same fingers-feeling of form.

Instrument paths

  • Piano: Scale chart open on the stand.
  • Strings: Capo talk optional for guitarists in the house.
  • Percussion: Same groove both keys.

Learning modes

  • Solo child: C version then G version.
  • Child + parent: Parent sings in a new range; child follows numbers.
