Death of a Christmas Tree

From the "My Family is So Weird" files:

I told the girls that tomorrow afternoon, we'd be hauling the Christmas tree off to grandpa's house, since this is the last year we can make the poor thing suffice.  I asked if they wanted to make a ceremony out of it.

While we were having this conversation, Monica was in the middle of playing some songs on her trumpet for us.  I looked at her and asked if she'd like to play a song at the ceremony.  "Do you know 'Oh Christmas Tree'?"

She said, "No, but I could play this:"

 

Say, that might be just the ticket!

Taps is what's called for in that situation. Does she know the entire song, or just the first three notes?
