Moonlit Courtyard on ocarina

The full melody, rendered as 12-hole ocarina fingering you can read on screen or print for the stand — free, and never truncated.

An original Playsoloist study, composed in-house as a practice piece — not a traditional tune and not implied to be one.

How to practise this on ocarina

Each diagram is your ocarina seen from the front — a filled hole is covered, the two small marks on the left are the subholes, and the dashed pair are the thumb holes on the back. Moonlit Courtyard starts on E5. Because an ocarina's pitch comes from the total open hole area, your breath pressure is your tuning: push harder and the note sharpens, ease off and it flattens.

Climb the fingerings in the order shown instead of hunting for holes, and keep your air steady so the pitch sits still — the app will tell you the moment a note drifts. Take it at around 72 BPM to begin, walking slowly through the phrase, and only lift the tempo once two takes in a row come back clean. By the numbers, this setting runs 9 notes across 3 bars, from C5 up to C6 in 4/4 time.
