The tabs

Read from left to right, as sheet music. Each note sits on the staff, with a picture of the ocarina under it: terracotta holes are covered, and the two small circles are the thumb holes. The note’s name is under the picture. A hollow head is a long note and a filled one a short one; a dot makes a note half as long again. For every fingering in detail, see the fingering chart.

Plays the tune at the ocarina’s own pitch.

Now play it.

Ocarina Quest listens while you play, waits for each note and shows you which ones were off.
