Skočná is a brisk Czech folk dance whose name means 'leaping', and the melody truly bounces with athletic energy. Played on a steel tongue drum its arpeggiated figures create a ringing, harp-like texture that suits the instrument beautifully. The swift tempo and string of short notes make it a rewarding challenge for intermediate players. A spirited celebration of Bohemian village dancing.

The numbers above are the standard tongue-drum number notation. Each digit is a note of the C Major scale, counting up from the lowest tongue. A dot above a number raises it one octave; a dot below lowers it. The small teal letters show the matching key in the Tongue Drum Online player.
Start slowly, one phrase at a time. Let each note ring out fully before striking the next — the long decay is the whole character of the instrument. This is a intermediate arrangement and a simplified, single-instrument version of Skočná (Czech dance).
