The ocarina is a wind instrument most notable for its pure ethereal tone. Quality transverse ocarinas are capable of creating everything from beautiful, mournful, slow melodies to highly ornamented tunes. They have a straightforward fingering system similar to a flute or tin whistle, and are fully chromatic. Most ocarinas are small, easily slipped into a pocket or bag, and played wherever it takes your fancy.
Yet, despite their apparent simplicity, playing the ocarina well can be difficult. Often, the approaches which are intuitive lead to bad technique, and there are many hidden challenges. Serious Ocarina Player will give you a solid foundation that will help you avoid common pitfalls, preparing you to play better and faster.
