⚠ Top weak spots
  1. Grade 1 lessons are mostly empty shells. 12 of 13 lessons (0, 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12) still use the generic 3 steps: a one-sentence blurb, a "coming soon" placeholder and a generic self-check. Only Lesson 2 has real steps.
  2. "With your teacher" step is a placeholder in 12 lessons. It has no video, no instructions and no activity.
  3. Core skills have no instructions yet: Lesson 1 Meet the Violin (parts), Lesson 3 Holding the Bow, Lesson 4 The Four Strings and Lesson 8 My First Scale. These are the best next candidates after Lesson 2.
  4. The self-check is the same for every lesson ("I can show this to my teacher…"), so it is not specific to the skill.
  5. Theory has no drawn music. 50 topics about notation (clefs, notes, intervals, keys, chords, rhythm) are text and quiz only, with no staff picture.
  6. Scales Grades 6–8 fingerings: 41 items use printed fingerings plus our own shifts because your pencil marks were too small to read.
  7. Scale facts to confirm: Grade 2 arpeggio tempo (♪ = 116), Grade 5 3-octave arpeggio tempo (♩. = 44), Grade 8 B♭ broken-thirds shift points, the last two bars of Grade 7 sixths in G, and Grade 7 chromatic slurs (12 per bow). All tempos come from a second-hand list.
  8. Grade 7–8 sevenths and chromatic tips are thin. 20 items list the notes only, with no playing advice, and some diminished 7th tips mix spellings ("B (really C♭)").
  9. Locked placeholders: Lessons for Grades 2–5, 3 "coming soon" games, the Weekend Mini Concert, and the Interval Ladder card on Play (the First Steps Interval Quiz already exists and could be linked there).
  10. Your own videos are missing: the "🎬 Watch Mr Zuber explain" button in Missions and the Daily quiz shows "Video coming soon". The About page is only 3 short sentences.
