Tutor focusconnect keyboard geography to pitch direction

Ask the learner to echo, choose, and describe one sound feature before adding a new label.

Source context

Keyboard geography is a tool, not the whole theory; connect every label back to sound.

Visible theoryMaterial vibration makes color

Timbre is not decoration; it is visible material, size, and motion.

Source modelMaterial vibration nodes

The strike starts the material vibrating.

This teaches vibration mechanics without claiming a specific performance tradition.
