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.

What Lesson 4 covers
#

Lesson 4 is where the exercises start to sound like music. F and G join the C, D and E from the earlier lessons, and with five notes under your fingers the number of tunes you can play jumps quickly. The drill runs three lines and 36 notes, mixing the new pair in with the old ones.

12 Hole Ocarina Lessons – Lesson 03 (D,E,F)

What Lesson 3 covers
#

Lesson 3 picks up where the last one left off. D comes back for review, and two new notes join it: E and F. That gives you three neighbors in a row, a short stretch of scale, and enough to start hearing short melodies take shape.

What Lesson 2 covers
#

Lesson 2 goes back over the C from the first lesson and then adds the two notes just above it, D and E. That sounds like a small step, but those three notes are already enough for a few basic songs, and Hot Cross Buns is a good one to try first.

12 Hole Ocarina Lessons – Lesson 01 (C,D)

What Lesson 1 covers
#

This is where the series began, back in the summer of 2012. The first note to learn is C, and Lesson 1 pairs it with D so you have something to move between from the very first minute. Two short lines of tab trade the two notes back and forth, twenty notes in all, which is plenty for a first sitting.
