Topic

Now you’ll trust only your ears. You can listen again as many times as you like.

Teacher note

Students can listen to the melody as often as they like, and slowly too. After two wrong tries on a note, the right key is shown for a moment so nobody gets stuck. Every melody starts on C.

Lesson steps

  1. Listen! The first note is C. Repeat the melody.
  2. Listen and repeat. The first note is C again.
  3. Five notes! Listen, remember, play.
  4. Last melody: there’s a big jump in it!
