Apt one for brahmOpadESam will be a Dikshitar kriti on Vaamana - at least one with a reference like SrI Sukra Bhagavantam ( kESava kaTAkshaika nEtram).

Or if you want to have a reverse example : Where son teaches father - any praNavOpadESam referencing kriti. For e.g : SrI nAthadi guruguhO ( mahESasya mahaRthOpadESa).

Mothers could learn and sing this as well ( a kAvaDI cindu by SrI OVK)
https://venkatakavi.org/pranavopadesham - a rendition by Anahita/Apoorva duo is linked there

sUrya mURtE - Navagraha kriti is also apt, given savitR upasana begins. dhruva tALa is now a free lancer singer skill - used to be talked about as tough! :D

Kruthis on Sri Gayathri devi Matha also can be sung as it is also the Gayathri mantra that is introduced in Upanayanam

Sri Gayathri valaji Oggirala Kavi comes to mind
