Lesson script

Skill, not song ownership: look at a chord + lyric sheet, find the key, rewrite as numbers, play.

Prefer public-domain or Cynthia-owned material for public videos. Keep modern hits for private home use unless licensed.

Done when: eight measures of numbers play without the original letter sheet.

Instrument paths

  • Piano: Numbers on paper → keys.
  • Strings: Melody by ear optional.
  • Percussion: Section letters A/B.

Learning modes

  • Solo child: One private song lab.
  • Child + parent: Parent helps only with key finding.
  • Family: Share the number chart, not the bootleg audio.
