Speaking as someone who regularly gives LilyPond initiation seminars

\relative mode is not on by default.
What if they didn't have to type all those 's in absolute mode ?
You might not need to explain relative mode at all.
It was hard for me to remember when in \relative I needed g' to get a G5 but
later in a very similar circumstance the same pitch is spelled g
\relative {r2 c'4 c | g' g a a | g2 f4 f | e4 e d d | c2 g'4 g
| f4 f e e | e4 d g g | f4 f e e | e4 d c c
| g' g a a | g2 f4 f | e4 e d d | c2 r }
\absolute c' {r2 c4 c | g g a a | g2 f4 f | e4 e d d | c2 g4 g
| f4 f e e | e4 d g g | f4 f e e | e4 d c c
| g g a a | g2 f4 f | e4 e d d | c2 r }
If the melody crosses above and below C
\relative {c''4 c e8 c g4 | g8 g16 g g8 g e'4 c
| c4 c e8 c g4 | g8 g16 g g8 g c2
| c8 c c e g e c4 | g8 g' g, g' e4 c
| c8 c c e g e c4 | g8 g' g, g' c,2 }
then absolute mode needs a lot of octave marks, but all the pitches that sound
low get consistently a low octave mark
\absolute c'' {c4 c e8 c g,4 | g,8 g,16 g, g,8 g, e4 c
| c4 c e8 c g,4 | g,8 g,16 g, g,8 g, c2
| c8 c c e g e c4 | g,8 g g, g e4 c
| c8 c c e g e c4 | g,8 g g, g c2 }
