Target/codes: keep LOW HIGH LOW HIGH as a pitch-label sequence while separating a pitch change from an optional comfortable volume decision; AC9AMUFD01, AC9AMUFC01. Prepare: B zigzag, Practice B, independent PITCH/VOLUME prompt cards.
- Welcome · 3 min. Say HIGH in this score describes pitch, not a request for louder sound or a child to strain.
- Model · 4 min. Hold the four pitch cards fixed; put a separate “comfortable level” card beside, not on, the HIGH rail. The electronic cues are generated at fixed digital gain, which does not guarantee equal perceived loudness.
- Try together · 5 min. Child points to one UP pitch join and separately chooses whether sound is wanted at all.
- Child choice · 7 min. Child labels a fictional paper scene or plain score and may keep a silent route, view an approved cue or ask a willing adult to make a safe sound. No vocal holding or exact singing is required.
- Notice · 4 min. Record pitch plan separately from any actual heard pitch/volume response. A paper HIGH card does not establish either acoustic result.
- Close · 2 min. Keep one version for a “look again” comparison tomorrow.
