Skill: Note #5 high

We've learned note 5 of the scale when it occurs below the home note. There is also a note 5 above the home note that we need to get acquainted with. Remember that note 5 is the second most important note of the scale, so we're learning it early. One way to think of the sound of note #5 is to think of the tune, "Twinkle twinkle little star." It starts with a jump from note 1 to note 5. (Twinkle, twinkle: 1,1,5,5) Another way to find it is to outline a chord. (1,3,5) Let's get used to how note #5 sounds by jumping around among random notes. You can practice later by replaying this part of the video with the sound off. As far as how note 5 looks on the staff, if the home note is on a line, then note 5 is 2 lines above it, while if the home note is on a space, note 5 is 2 spaces higher. If you keep in mind which note is the home note while you're singing a song, it shouldn't be too hard to recongize note 5.
