About the ocarina
The ocarina is a very old instrument indeed and is believed to have originated over 12,000 years ago. Now a popular replacement for recorders in schools, they are a great way of introducing pitch, rhythm, and music making together to primary education classes. Chamberlain Music mostly has 4-hole ocarinas available, often referred to as an ‘English pendant’ ocarina and use the English fingering system devised by John Taylor.
We also supply plenty of additional
ocarina teaching a playing books including the Ocarina from the beginning with CD - an invaluable step by step resource for teachers and students with or without previous musical knowledge to help teach and play the ocarina.
