Ocarinas in School

This short film gives you a chance to hear whole-class and whole-school ocarina playing. You will hear 9 & 10 year olds in a small village school and a class of 7 year olds in a large primary school. Both groups had been playing the ocarina for just 6 or 7 weeks with their class teacher.

Whole class ocarinas

As you will see in the film, all Ocarina Workshop resources are really easy to use. The 4-hole Ocarina & Book 1 is the best place to start. Ocarina Workshop have three special offers so you can equip each child for just £10 ex-vat and resource a teacher for free. Try just one ocarina and book, order a small group set or equip your whole class. As you can see below, ocarinas work with everyone:

Ocarinas are wonderful for our children! Nearly every child can play all of the tunes in Play your Ocarina Book 1, even those who find everything else difficult. Reading Ocarina-music is particularly good to encourage hand-eye co-ordination and even the least literate of our children succeed with this.
