From Larry Wyatt's Teaching/Learning Notes for Ode to Joy:
"This arrangement uses only notes from the major scale (C in C6 tuning, D in D6 tuning) with one exception in measure 11, Uke III.
Uke I is the familiar melody that uses only the first five notes of the C scale. Note that the melody begins on the third scale degree rather than the root. Notice that this melody is also a great example of 'stepwise' melodic movement (as opposed to melodic movement by 'skips' or 'leaps')."

This month, Cynthia Kinnunen gives us some intervalactic tactics
Building recognition of intervals aurally (by ear) and on the page (by sight) helps to improve many aspects of our musical learning, including sight reading, sight singing, harmonizing and more! But knowing where to begin teaching intervals can leave us feeling like we’re on another planet.
