The Ocarina Workshop Music World-Explorer starter box

Immerse your class in world cultures as you visit each continent. Sing to the beat of African drums, play along with Hawaiian guitars, snake charmer’s pipes and more… You will visit every continent and hear new scales, rhythms and authentic instruments whilst navigating through the book. The music takes you around each continent, with vibrant backings portraying the sights and sounds of each new place as you visit them. The words to each song help students to understand and appreciate the people and culture from which each tune is representing. The student book includes 20 tunes with fingercharts, notation, words, and guitar chords. 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 & CD 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.
