Learner choices

Target/codes: plan or try a steady four-beat realization and distinguish its beat from inner sound sequence; partial AC9AMUFD01/FC01. Prepare: child-owned score, broad pointer, local reviewed quiet sound source if chosen; invitation E.

  1. Welcome · 3 min. “Would you like to try your tiny piece again?” Child chooses silent rehearsal, own sound, adult making or pass. Preview exact source/comfortable level and agree stop first.
  2. Model · 4 min. Adult silently points four comfortable steady beats, then reads an own ONE ONE PAIR ONE score. For optional reviewed live making, first preview one ONE and one PAIR card, then play the short piece; use a slower comfortable steady pace if needed, without changing the score's relationships.
  3. Try together · 5 min. Learner chooses a one-card practice for the maker; follow one sound at start or two at start/middle. “Both sounds stay in one beat.” No perfect-speed requirement or competition.
  4. Child choice · 7 min. Child tries their own piece once, decides whether to try again, and may direct a willing adult to keep the beat/read/make sounds. Silent tracing or exact description is equivalent rehearsal of the plan. Keep repetitions optional and brief.
  5. Notice · 4 min. Ask which card they enjoyed or want to practise. Record actual maker and support; adult-produced sound is not the learner's playing. If pulse slips, try the one-card route before the whole piece.
  6. Close · 2 min. Child can keep this version, prepare a small change tomorrow, or stop. No recorded performance or public show is required.
