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.
The rest of Deck the Halls is in the app
Ocarina Quest plays the whole song with you, listens while you play and shows which notes were off.
Deck the Halls is one of the app’s Pro songs.
