The parent note has two halves — and a short list of refusals

A parent recap that claims improvement the lesson never showed, or invents grades and practice targets, creates expectations no teacher can defend. A parent note after a music lesson has exactly two jobs: say what the lesson covered, and say what to practise before the next one. The practice-note prompt is built to do those two jobs from your lesson notes — and to refuse a third job it was never given.

Half one: what the lesson actually covered

Covered means observed. In the real output below, the lesson content is two items: keeping a steady beat while clapping the chorus, and reviewing the first eight bars of River Walk. Both come from the lesson notes; the internal source check names them as such before the message is written.

Half two: the practice, restated exactly

STATUS: READY
MESSAGE:
Hello! In the lesson, Ari kept a steady beat while clapping the chorus, and we reviewed the first eight bars of River Walk. For home practice, please have Ari clap the chorus beat and play those first eight bars slowly.
SOURCE CHECK:
- Lesson observations: LESSON_NOTES.
- Practice tasks: PRACTICE_ASSIGNMENTS.

Sample data above is fictional, shown so you can judge the output before buying.

Read the practice line against the assignment: clap the chorus beat, play the first eight bars slowly. That is the assignment restated — no added exercises, no extra minutes, no harder version invented to sound thorough. The source check lists the practice tasks separately from the observations, so a task can never quietly borrow authority from something the lesson showed.

What the note refuses to add

• Improvement the lesson never showed — enthusiasm is not evidence, and the note does not grade progress it cannot point to
• Grades and targets — no exam predictions, no practice quotas the teacher never set
• New exercises — the assignment is restated exactly, because a parent will hold the teacher to whatever the note says

And when an essential fact is missing or the notes conflict, the output does not draft around the gap: it returns HOLD questions instead, and the note waits until the teacher answers them. The message that does go out is short, warm — and every line in it can be defended at the next lesson.
