Once you have mastered playing tunes on the top four holes, you will be ready to get your thumbs working. From 'Play your ocarina' Book 3 onwards, the extra notes on the 6-hole ocarina are really useful, allowing you to play tricky chromatic melodies with minimal practice!

You can adapt your skills to move confidently between sizes from Mini to Bass and from tiny Micro to pizza-sized Great Bass. By Book 4, playing music in all styles from classical to rock and roll is great fun. You may then like to try our ultimate challenge, the Duet Ocarina!

The Duet Ocarina is a great audience-pleaser. Born out of a desire to make one-handed ocarinas and, subsequently, out of foolhardiness as we tried to play two one-handed ocarinas at the same time. Each Duet is equally balanced on both sides to play in unison and two-part harmony. 'The Duet Ocarina Book' has music to challenge the most able musician and, with the help of special finger-charts, tunes that even first-time players can play straight away. Amaze your friends with your solo harmony performances!
