Ocarina

The ocarina is a great family instrument!! This instrument is believed to date back over 12,000 years ago! It is an oval shaped flute like instrument and is very easy to learn.

When we first received our Ocarina, my sister was here and we were anxious to try it out. We were provided with an instructional book called The Art of the Ocarina and an instructional CD. The book starts off very slow with an introduction to the Ocarina, followed by lesson 1, which helps to identify note length and your first note! Each lesson teaches you a new note or notes to play with a song or exercise and includes pictures of your finger placement.

The Ocarina reminds me of an instrument that is heard at renaissance festivals held throughout the country. It has a soft flute like sound and is easy for anyone to learn to play. I have experience playing the flute throughout high school, which was a long time ago, and enjoyed my reintroduction into music!

My daughter is 4 years old and loves music. She has a small child’s drum set, a recorder, and a kids piano that she loves to pretend to play, but with the Ocarina she is actually learning how to read music! Anyone can learn to play the Ocarina in a short period of time! They have a great sound, and are fun for the whole family!

The Ocarina is a great gift unique gift idea for anyone in your family, music teachers, or Sunday school teachers! Learn more information or purchase an Ocarina at http://www.stlocarina.com
