Play your Ocarina Book 1 'Starting Off' CD Edition : Basic skills and tunes Book

Ocarina Workshop ocarinas have been played in schools and homes since 1983 and are now one of the most popular musical instruments in UK primary schools. The 4-hole plastic Oc is ideal for little fingers; the four holes are easy to cover and a full octave can be played straight away. Tunes quickly follow because of the easy-to-read pictorial ocarina notation, invented by Ocarina Workshop and displayed in all Play your Ocarina books. Children and adults have equal fun and musical success with the ocarina, and can develop advanced music skills by playing through all 171 tunes and musical arrangements in the Play your Ocarina books. Ocarina playing is an ideal activity for all the family, and for youth groups, as everyone can join in and make music together easily. Play your Ocarina Book 1 introduces the first 11 notes and 22 tunes; Book 2 develops further technique and introduces the complete range of ocarina notes. The 4-hole Oc is beautifully simple for beginners. The 6-hole Oc is recommended when playing more advanced tunes in Books 3 and 4. With thumb-holes covered, the 6-hole Oc is identical to the 4-hole Oc and perfect for playing simpler tunes. Ocarinas from Ocarina Workshop are suitable from Foundation Stage through Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 (Primary One and Primary Two). Ocarina Workshop are established and accredited educational suppliers, working nationally and internationally in partnership with teachers, schools and education authorities.
