Ocarina Workshop 1-2-3 Ocarina starter box

The Ocarina workshop 1-2-3 Ocarina starter box

1-2-3 teaches music reading and ocarina-playing at the same time. The 31 songs are designed to help build up confidence in playing and reading by using simple finger-movements and easy to follow methods - perfect for younger players. First, the 1-2-3 book introduces the first 10 ocarina notes, then it shows you how to play the notes by reading music and then teaches you how to read the rhythm of the notes. It's as easy as 1-2-3! The student book includes 31 tunes, each helping with learning fingering, notation and rhythm. The 12 4-hole ocarinas are made of hard wearing plastic and are supplied in a range of fun colours, all in a handy presentation box. They are easy to clean - simply apply anti-bac spray and wipe with a dry cloth.

There’s also a handy Teacher Book & 2 CDs available (sold separately). This book supports teachers, providing them with composing and improvising projects, along with tips, ideas, and lessons that are suitable for the whole class.

Benefits of the ocarina

These ocarinas are accessible, and they produce a wonderfully clear and gentle sound, allowing everyone to express their musical creativity. Simplicity aids creativity, and with a limited number of holes to cover, pre-school children and pupils with the use of only one hand can play specially adapted 4-hole music on the one-handed ocarinas. Students who may struggle to read music can read and follow the ocarina tablature.
