FANTASTIC OCARINA MUSIC SITE!

Mbalu has found a brilliant ocarina songbook site where you can find hundreds of ocarina tunes that have been sent in by ocarina players around the world.

You can find the songbook at:
http://composer.songbirdocarina.com/

Simply click on a letter to go to the songs which have titles which begin with that letter.

There's also some interesting facts about the ocarina on the following link:

Thank Mbalu!

Ocarina music - well sort of...

I've had a look for some examples of the ocarina pieces we have been learning and came across some interesting videos:

First up - a man playing a two part canon of Twinkle Twinkle with a video of himself. Only one difference is that his ocarina is made of a carrot. Yes you did read that correctly - a carrot:

And for those of you practising Kumbaya, here it is being played on a real ocarina:

Happy practising!
