Description
My sheet music includes fingering positions, letter-coded notation, and song lyrics for a 4-hole ocarina. Although your ocarina has just 4 holes, this small instrument can produce 8 natural notes, the full range from C to C, and 5 flat or sharp notes: a total of 13 notes.This songbook is suitable for a 6-hole ocarina also, in this case, 2 holes on the back side of the instrument should be always covered with thumbs.The fingering positions are shown in the e-book graphically on an image of a standard-shaped ocarina with four holes. Each hole on the ocarina is represented by circles. The circles filled in black indicate which holes should be covered while playing. The open circles mean they should be uncovered. The bottom circles correspond to the holes on the ocarina which are closest to your mouth. Circles on the left are played using the left hand and are played with the index and middle fingers, while those on the right side are played with the same fingers on the right hand.Ocarinas always have 1 hole which is never covered. This is the place where sound is released from the ocarina, which is called the whistle.The 4-hole ocarina is a simple beginner instrument. It is cheap and portable, has a simple structure and form, and is easy to begin to play.Ocarinas are made from a variety of materials. The most popular models are made of plastic, porcelain, ceramic, or wood.My sheet music is based on a 4-hole ocarina tuned in C Major.ContentsA Mighty Fortress Is Our GodA Tisket, a TasketAloha OeAmazing GraceAura LeeAu Clair de la LuneAway in a MangerBarbara AllenBingoBlue Bells of ScotlandBye Baby BuntingFor EliseGood King WenceslasHappy Birthday to YouHere We Go Round the Mulberry BushHickory Dickory DockHoly, Holy, HolyHome on the RangeHot Cross BunsI'm a Little TeapotItsy Bitsy SpiderJolly Old Saint NicholasKumbayaLavender's BlueLittle Bunny Foo FooLondon BridgeMary Had a Little LambMy Bonnie Lies Over the OceanMy Old Dog TrayNobody Knows the Trouble I've SeenO Little Town of BethlehemOde to JoyOh, My Darling ClementineOld MacDonald Had a FarmPop Goes the WeaselRain, Rain, Go AwayRing Around the RosieRock-a-bye BabyRow Row Row Your BoatSkip To My LouSyahambaTen Little FingersThe Bear Went Over the MountainThe First NoelThe Muffin ManThe Skye Boat SongThe Wheels on the BusThis Old ManThree Blind MiceTwinkle, Twinkle Little StarWe Wish You a Merry ChristmasWhen the Saints Go Marching In99 Bottles of Beer
