Lesson script

Take 1–5–6–4 in C. Play RH in inversions that keep shared tones close. LH stays on roots or 1-5-1.

Listen for smoother voice leading — like sliding shades instead of jumping crayons.

Done when: the progression needs fewer big hand jumps than yesterday.

Instrument paths

  • Piano: Close-position RH; steady LH.
  • Strings: Long tones on 1 and 5.
  • Percussion: Soft continuous shaker.

Learning modes

  • Solo child: Compare leapy vs smooth takes.
  • Child + parent: Parent video-compares two takes.
  • Family: Audience votes which feels calmer.
