So now in measures 5 and 6 we have that nice melodic line going down and then it went back to its original the original motif and E flat 7 but this time we change it up a little bit. So we have this so you notice now we have this little trill line here this little squiggly line is called the trill and what it means we take the note value we have and we play it back and forth between that value and the note value above it. So this is a 1,2,3,4,5 so we are going to play between 5 and 6 very fast you can see my fingers as I do it. So you see it right there and this is a great exercise you can practice with all of your fingers. It is a great exercise to just get your agility up in general on the instrument.
