"Ode to Joy" - A closer look at line three


The third line of "Ode to Joy" is the one that gives everyone a little trouble, so let's take a closer look. I've taken the liberty of indicating the note names. The challenge here, however, is not the individual notes but coordinating our fingers and tongues on the eighth note sequences.

One way to take this problem is to work on one measure at time. Above I'm posting some instructional audio that focuses on each individual 4 beat measure. Take some time to work on these small sections and then we can put it together or "reconstruct" it in music class.
