What Lesson 5 covers#
Lesson 5 brings in G and A, and with them you reach a milestone: if you have followed the earlier lessons, you now know six notes, everything from C up to A. That is enough to play a fair number of simple tunes on the site.
The drill is longer than the ones before it, five lines and fifty-five notes, and it mixes the new pair in with the old ones so your fingers learn the bigger jumps as well as the small steps. Everything still sits in the plain middle of the 12-hole ocarina, with no sharps or flats, no sub-holes and no thumb holes to manage. Go slowly through the leaps from C to G and A, since lifting several fingers at once is where a stray half-covered hole tends to show up.
