Soyobue helps you practice a 12-hole alto C ocarina with the score, sound, and fingering together. Choose a familiar melody, slow it down, and learn which holes to cover next. FOLLOW THE MUSIC Animated note highlights and a scrolling score follow playback while fingering diagrams show which holes to cover for the current note. The next note is shown alongside. Tap a note to preview it or start practicing from that position. PRACTICE 61 MELODIES FOR FREE Explore traditional and classical melodies, including Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, Ode to Joy, Amazing Grace, and the theme from Pomp and Circumstance. Search the library, filter classical pieces, and return to favorites or recent tunes. Some pieces are themes, excerpts, or shortened versions. Sources and editions are listed in Settings. LEARN AT YOUR PACE Adjust playback speed, use a count-in or metronome, repeat an A–B section, and move one note at a time. Explore individual notes in the fingering chart. Practice audio is synthesized on your device. BRING YOUR OWN FINISHED SCORES Import JSON or supported MusicXML scores for free read-only practice. Export scores and backups as JSON files. MusicXML import supports uncompressed, single-part melodies; compressed MXL, multiple parts, and chords are not supported. CREATE AND EDIT WITH A ONE-TIME PURCHASE Creating new scores, editing, and saving score drafts require a one-time in-app purchase.
