Learner choices

Target/codes: make an original rhythm for a child-chosen playful purpose; partial AC9AMUFD01/FC01. Prepare: my piece aid, invitations D/E, fictional book display/maker show/toy scene pictures; actual evidence fields unset.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. “Will your rhythm open a little show, end it, or be a piece by itself?” Child may choose no story, private work or pass. It is an invented music purpose, never a real safety/attention command.
  2. Model · 4 min. Adult makes ONE ONE ONE PAIR for a paper show ending and says, “I chose two quick at the end.” Then shows PAIR ONE ONE ONE as another maker choice. Neither guarantees an audience meaning. Put examples away.
  3. Try together · 5 min. Invite a volunteered score with consent, or use a new adult ONE PAIR PAIR PAIR. Ask the maker which part they chose for their purpose; do not invent a reason if none is given.
  4. Child choice · 7 min. Child builds an own four-beat opening/ending and may try it with a locally reviewed quiet source, direct an adult, or present the silent score. A willing private reader may receive it if the child invites them. Keep time to enjoy another try by choice.
  5. Notice · 4 min. Save child's plan and optional purpose. Note a real sound-maker, heard route and recipient only if actual. If the child cannot express a story reason, ask which card they want to keep and accept that musical choice.
  6. Close · 2 min. Keep the work private or return it to the child. Hide fresh check pages; no home item or recording is needed.
