C# Can't access properties from class

I have a some of the instructions from my course: enter image description here

And When I try to acess the frequency and duration properties it says: "doesn't exist in current context."

Here is a some of my code:

namespace SongPlayer
{

// This class is provided as part of the Activity Starter program.
class Note
{
    // Define common note frequencies
    public static int NOTE_C = 524;
    public static int NOTE_D = 594;
    public static int NOTE_E = 660;
    public static int NOTE_F = 698;
    public static int NOTE_G = 784;
    public static int NOTE_A = 880;
    public static int NOTE_B = 988;

    // Define common note durations (in milliseconds)
    public static int DURATION_WHOLE = 1600;
    public static int DURATION_HALF = 800;
    public static int DURATION_QUARTER = 400;    

    // Declare the properties for this note
     public int Frequency;
     public int Duration;

    // This constructor requires the Frequency and Duration for this note
    public Note(int frequency, int duration)
    {
        this.Frequency = frequency;
        this.Duration = duration;

    }

}

// This class code is ADDED FOR ACTIVITY by the student
class Song
{
    // student code to implement the Song class goes here




        public string Name; //HERE
        public LinkedList<Note> notes; //HERE222
        public Song(string name) //This is a constructor method
        {
            this.Name = name; // "this.Name is referring to THERE while " = name " is reffering to the paramenter.
            this.notes = new LinkedList<Note>(); //This is refferring to THERE222
        }


        public void AddNote(int frequency, int duration)
          {
             Note MyNote = new Note(frequency, duration); //Class instance.
             notes.AddLast(MyNote);

          }


    /// <summary>
    /// 
    /// </summary>
    public void Play()
    {
        foreach(Note MyNote23 in notes)
        {
          //I need to access the properties here
        }


    }


}

}

Here is another part of my code from another page:

private void initializeSongs()
    {
        songs = new LinkedList<Song>(); 
        //Song Mysong = new Song("Marry had a little lamb"); //I barly even know what i'm bloody doing. //inputting name
        Song song1 = new Song("Marry had a little lamb"); //retriver name.
        song1.AddNote(Note.NOTE_B, Note.DURATION_QUARTER); //I think I have to do this for each note. Bloody damit.
        song1.AddNote(Note.NOTE_A, Note.DURATION_QUARTER);
        song1.AddNote(Note.NOTE_G, Note.DURATION_QUARTER);
        song1.AddNote(Note.NOTE_A, Note.DURATION_QUARTER);
        song1.AddNote(Note.NOTE_B, Note.DURATION_QUARTER);
        song1.AddNote(Note.NOTE_B, Note.DURATION_QUARTER);
        song1.AddNote(Note.NOTE_B, Note.DURATION_HALF);
        song1.AddNote(Note.NOTE_A, Note.DURATION_QUARTER);
        song1.AddNote(Note.NOTE_A, Note.DURATION_QUARTER);
        song1.AddNote(Note.NOTE_A, Note.DURATION_HALF);
        song1.AddNote(Note.NOTE_B, Note.DURATION_QUARTER);
        song1.AddNote(Note.NOTE_D, Note.DURATION_QUARTER);
        song1.AddNote(Note.NOTE_D, Note.DURATION_HALF);


        songs.AddLast(song1); 
        SongListBox.Items.Add(song1.Name);   // add song name to list box


    }

I am new to c# and I have been trying for hours so please keep that in mind.

You are calling variable initialize in Note class inside Song class so you need to initialize Note class first then call its variable

public void Play()
{  
    Note note = new Note();

    foreach(Note MyNote23 in notes)
    {
        // I need to access the properties here
        int f = note.Frequency;
        int d = note.Duration;         
    }
}

You need to call your Frequency and Duration fields inside foreach:

foreach(Note MyNote23 in notes) 
{ 
    Console.Beep(MyNote23.Frequency, MyNote23.Duration); 
}

But I would suggest you to use Properties instead of public fields.
