🎵 Key Takeaway
You know the notes. Now let's play music. We will apply what you learned to play "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star." It uses the notes C, D, E, F, G, A—perfect for beginners.
Practicing scales is good. But playing songs is why we are here.
Today, you are going to play your first full melody. We chose "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" not because it's a kids' song, but because it is the perfect exercise. It forces you to jump between Low notes and High notes.
The Instrument for Growth
For this milestone, I am using the Eidolove Gradient Green Ocarina. The color represents growth and new beginnings—exactly what playing your first song is about.

Pro Tip: Don't "Huff"
When you play the notes C C, don't just blow one long breath. Use your tongue to say "Tu Tu".
If you don't tongue, it sounds like a siren. If you tongue, it sounds like music.
