Lesson script
From a major triad, find the flat seventh for a dominant 7 color (in C: B♭ on a G7 — [walk half steps carefully]). Practice G7 → C as a cadence. Mark extended jazz chords as future [CYNTHIA FILL] if needed. Done when: G7 to C feels like a sentence ending.
Instrument paths

- Percussion: Two hits: tension then release.
Learning modes
- Solo child: Cadence practice in C and G.
- Child + parent: Parent sings “the end” on the resolve.
- Family: Family amen cadence joke.
