This way of creating simple, use friendly step by step instructions was very useful for distilling what in real-time is a very subjective, sense-based, internalized process for students in a way to create access to this skill. This idea could be continued into other content areas within music (use of metronome or tuner, making program notes) as a fun and “known” way that could be handed out to students as a template to follow when learning a new skill.
