Prepare outside the 25 minutes: six broad aligned beat places; a complete ALL sound/wait line; A/B source-role rows with circle/square sound and dash wait; exact spoken/raised alternatives. ALL diamond means one planned event without a source identity. Child can direct adult placements/AAC/sign/words, enlarge/cover rows or pass; no small loose pieces/printer/touch/prop required. On each whole sound beat use A OR B, never both; on each whole wait both wait. This is musical event coverage, not people fairness or a required equal split. Rehearsal need not be drawn anew every day.
Immediately usable optional live route
Educator first reviews exact source, short technique, material/space/hygiene/age/access, comfortable local volume, willing maker and stop/pass. A concrete option, only if already familiar/comfortable, locally previewed and chosen, is A a brief familiar “mm” and B a brief familiar “sh”; no lyric/phoneme/voice control assessed. Substitute two exact locally reviewed quiet familiar sources or one child part plus willing adult; no prescribed object striking, tapping/clapping, breath task, singing, touch, headphones or movement. If these are unsuitable, use another approved source, child-directed adult or silent plan. Never demand voice. No real object is passed.
Offer A alone, then B alone, each following shared beats 1–6 with waits included; comfortable adult pointer/exact accessible cue, no prescribed speed or fine-motor target. Child may make one source part while adult makes the other by agreement; whole shared trial only if wanted, two willing makers or one consenting maker with two suitable sources. No simultaneous planned sounds. One short six-beat take, optional one further try, then stop. One-source rendering of ALL is an actual rhythm trial if observed, but does not demonstrate two-source handover. Adult realization is adult performance; silent score/directing is composition evidence, not child playing/hearing/timing.
Record actual maker/source/support, what rhythm/entry/beat information was accessible and observed, rather than equating complete score with accurate performance. Candidate file approval is separate from live source review and all actual learner evidence.
A · Meet Share One Rhythm
Model/source, exact score/context. ALL 1,2,4,6; A 1,4/B 2,6. Four events, union intact/intersection empty, two per part. Actual work purpose does not prove show use/benefit/social fairness. Child may choose/try one reviewed part or direct a quiet adult/silent reader, with actual source response separate.
B · Make my whole rhythm
Own page or broad six-strip. Adult practice ALL 1,3,4; choose sound/wait once at each beat. Child chooses an own two-to-five-sound rhythm or accessible open alternative, imagined scene/music alone, title or not stated. Short reviewed one-source/one-part trial available; before ownership this is whole rhythm making, not shared-source performance.
C · Give each sound one owner
Share-this: ALL 1,3,4 fixed, A 1 fixed, B response undecided all six. B must cover 3,4 and wait at 1,2,5,6. Compare one whole beat at a time, not counts only. Child allocates own ALL between chosen A/B roles; when using the bounded task both roles own at least one event. No equal-count social claim.
D · Music for my little scene
Original broad dot pictures/imagined puppets or music alone. Practice ALL 1,2,5; A 1,5/B 2. Child proposes a musical parcel/scene, without object passing or expected audience meaning. Role willingness is actual only after asking; one part or optional shared trial/direct-adult/silent plan. The three-event 2/1 split can be musically valid without proving fair people roles.
E · Rehearse my part and our line
Maker aid, own complete rows, exact quiet source review. Practice ALL 2,4,6; A 2,6/B 4. Rehearse each part alone with all waits, then optional whole trial. Child may prefer own one-part/one-source ALL/private/silent route. Full score cannot prove actual heard timbre/accurate timing or agreement.
F · Give a maker a clear part
Revisit actual model/source/intention. Practice ALL 1,3,6; A 3/B 1,6. Give complete six sound/wait decisions and source role to a willing actual maker/reader or label MODEL/private rehearsal. Actual receiver action distinct from imagined response; wider actual source/context uses gate.
G · Keep rhythm, change ownership
Save practice ALL 1,2,5,6; A 1,5/B 2,6. Reassign beat 5 to B: new A 1/B 2,5,6. ALL/beat places/source identities remain fixed, total four events remains four, both roles used; own split becomes 1/3, not an error/social fairness result. Rehearse chosen part/optional whole/silent read and prefer first/new/both. Fresh prescribed rhythms are held for first responses.
