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