It's 3AM and i have a final exam prepared. I don't even know what an Ocarina is. I've never played an instrument. How did i end up here?

I love how you started on C, my main lenguage is Spanish and I memorized the notes on Do,re,mi,fa,sol,la and si, so it is so much easier:)

I'm still strongest on Zelda's Lullaby and practicing bits n pieces of the other songs. I own the tenor ocarina from this video myself.

Zelda 12-hole ocarina? I have one too 🙂

I bought a recorder at guitar center for 4 dollars, and was having so much fun with it. Brought me right back to 3rd grade me, getting the colors tied on the end for every song that you completed. Just bought my first ocarina, and am so excited to learn something to unique! Can't wait to learn from you!

[@Jenisonc]

Try "Can't you see" by The Marshall Tucker band. Blues/country rock intro that you can play on the recorder. Pretty darn close. 👍

[@YOUR_NARRATOR975]

Since I have little to no musical knowledge, I am very proud of myself for being able to play Zelda's lullaby on recorder just from sound.

Bruh thank you I compose and can play various stringed instruments so safe to say I went into this slightly cocky oh how I was humbled and now your vids are already helping me get to where I want to be I almost forgot to approach this instrument with respect

[@evarinagarmguardian113]

Hey! Just found your ocarina tutorials, but I didn't come just to learn to play. I mostly came to learn how to build one! I've been doing pottery lately and wanted to learn how to build one ad your tutorials are helping me to know which hole to make first! Thank you so much!

[@ghoul787]

Awesome, i was guided by you, and now i can play ocarina. Still on first song. 😅

Could you make a video about balancing the ocarina at high notes? It's not exactly intuitive to me how I'm supposed to hold the ocarina while covering none of the holes. Thanks in advance ^^

thank you for your videos. just got my first ocarina. best videos i found so far

[@user-vp3pe4lk5q]

I'm sad I wasted so much money on Amazon ocarina's because none of them sound even half way decent. Went and ordered from the site you recommend so fingers crossed! I've always wanted to learn so I'm excited to get started with a good decent instrument

[@taxat10n1sth3ft]

Update? I have an Amazon ocarina in my cart but you may have just saved me a lot of frustration

[@BedtimeAnytimeStories]

I am BEYOND EXCITED right now! Someone gave me an ocarina last night and I was trying to hold it with both my hands pointed up😂 but this video was so helpful in teaching me the basics. I've wanted an ocarina for almost a year since I first learned about them. Thanks SO much for your helpful video. The pacing was perfect, repeating the scale a few times. Now I will play around with what I learned! I'm so excited!

[@ThatSoberGamer]

I just got an ocarina (on amazon but will look on STL lol) and this video has absolutely helped! I will be subscribing and checking them all out. I pulled the trigger on getting one and your vids will be a great help!

[@StinkerTheFirst]

Thanks a lot for the this! I'm learning a lot from your videos. I learned the scale from the first version of this video, and while it is very good, this is better. Particularly the "who" and "Tu" thing, and the recommendations for your other videos. I'm learning Zelda's Lullaby from one of your other videos, and this one here helped me get through that first section just now. Also, thanks for the STL Ocarina tip. It sounds much better than the first one I bought, and has more comfortable finger positions.

[@GinaLuciani]

Thank you so so much for your support! That means a lot to me and I’m very happy to hear my videos are helping you out!

I bought two Ocarina. I'm going to give them a go. I'll follow your stuff and see how far I can go.

[@ZeldaACFan17]

The ocarina is my favorite instrument 🥰🎶🎵 I think I have 40 now... A whole lot 😂 My favorite songs to play on my ocarinas are Zelda songs 😀 After all, who would get an ocarina and not play a Zelda song or two on it for their first songs...? Zelda made the ocarina popular, and I found out about the ocarina from Zelda as well, so ocarinas and Zelda are quite synonymous with each other (When you think of ocarinas, you probably think of Zelda 😊)

[@sadda_ki_mukabla]

I just 3d printed one and it works amazingly

[@Hectorlph]

Man I just learned how to play this instrument for once , I've been curious how to play it tbh

[@SteamingTorfu]

It is a very good video, i just figured my ocarina makes a very weird sound as soon as i loosen my thumbs holes and i don't know why

[@triohazard6104]

I bought a mystery box from STL some time ago but haven’t actually practiced with them. Hopefully after some practice and with help from these videos I can play through the entire LOZ soundtrack

[@blazerunner6954]

Honestly I got my ocarina so long ago in fact I found it today it was just randomly in my closet probably sitting there for years never knew how to play but how it's held is a little uncomfortable but I think I will ease into it and learn how to play after 6 or 7 years maybe it was so long ago that I don't even remember when I got it but all I can remember is I got it for a birthday because obviously I love ocarina of time

[@maky977]

I have a cca 150yo ocarina, from my great grandfather...I am trying to figure it out and it...is...not...easy! :)(it doesn't have the two small holes, just 8 in the front)

[@theultimatetactician1712]

I'm really on edge on which of the stl zelda ocarinas to buy, like the plastic one or one of the two 60 dollar ceramic ones, shipping to my country is expensive tho, so I might only get one. Which one do you recommend? I've played wind instruments and brass instruments for 10+ years so I do have note experience and blowing and breathing technique.

[@1tz_Ash]

so uh i went to a shop that has days where thing get cheaper and i bought this 13 hole Ocarina, lowkey i just bought it because it looked cool, (and for some reason i thought it was like the flute, i play flute) it has this shattered art over it mixed with grey, white and black, n it has like a sharp end i have no idea what im doing but i have a feeling ima keep using this, not before long i got it i learned hot cross buns but this video kinda helped me even tho it had 13 holes but tysm!

Gina, have you reviewed STL's ocarina named Destiny? I'm wanting to get one because it looks like with the handling it may be easier on my wrists (I have carpal tunnel) and was looking for a few reviews before taking the plunge? Or do you maybe have any other ocarinas you could suggest? Thank you for any help!! :) P.S. I love your videos!!

Discovering your channel, it‘s really a jewel to learn Ocarina. I‘m just sad for the notes ..that‘s not the european version so I‘m going to have to translate C, G, F etc😅 Im sure your how to read tab its the same so… 2ble effort lol

I have a brand new STL ocarina (Ember F Alto) and no matter what I do it sounds like a whistle :/ I'm brand new to it, but even following your videos about breathing and sound, I can't get it to sound right. It has a sort of Whistle to it, no matter how I adjust the airflow. I really wanna get it to sound good... I've heard how it sounds in your videos and its beautiful...

[@jeffrobinson4985]

I got mine from Amazon, sounds great, and I see the page you linked sells the same one too, so Im confused

[@hernandezlee37]

Hello I’m trying the E and F and I can’t get it work even with the acute bend. I’m using the stl tenor ocarina.

[@jimgilbert9984]

I've been trying to learn to play the ocarina off and on for several years. I recently concentrated on learning properly. Unfortunately, when I practice the songs in the instructional booklet, I devote myself to trying to make the songs sound like something familiar as much as practicing moving my fingers from note to note. And practicing the scales just wasn't doing it for me. I don't know of any songs that are composed solely of the scales. Sigh. Then the other day, I was looking through all of my song books for songs to practice. I don't like the 12 hole ocarina as it hurts my wrists and fingers. I have arthritis. So I have 6 hole pendant ocarinas. So I needed songs in that range. One of my books has something called "Studies." It switches from note to note in "studies" as if they were songs. I found them easier to use to learn how to play because they don't sound like real songs. Interestingly, the song book isn't for learning to play the ocarina. It's for learning to play pan pipes. The name of the book: "You Can Teach Yourself Pan Flute," by Costel Puscoiu. It's one of the many music instructional books put out by Mel Bay. It contains not only "Studies," but regular songs, too, everything from classical pieces (Beethoven, Dvorak, Bach, etc.) to children's songs to carols/hymns to folk music. Now, please excuse me. It's time to practice the studies on my ocarina.

[@nicktschani6282]

I bought an ocarina yesterday, a cheaply made clay ocarina that i now know was probably overpriced 😅 I'm thinking of buying a proper one instead

[@Nimona.the.herian]

my ocarina is having 7 holes not 8 can you do a tutorial for 7 holes ocarina? please

[@HeatherPilarMusic]

I bought a cat shaped ocarina from my Taiwan trip. I based my purchase from the design without realizing there are different number of holes 😅 Mine has 7 holes

[@MidnightThunderKid]

Didn't grab STL stuff seeing as I'm kinda short on cash even WITH the discount. But it's 12 hole. So it should work with this tutorial right?

[@AnneMeyer-ss5ek]

I've played concert flute for about five years now, will my knowledge of that make it easier to learn the ocarina?

[@sambar1992]

I bought the 12 hole double octave ocarina, would you say it's too difficult to learn for a beginner?

[@DarkBlueToilet]

Hello, I've recently taken up learning Ocarina, and your videos have helped out a lot, but I do have a question. To explain, I am struggling to be able to play the note A, as shown here. For some reason, I simply cannot lift my ring finger by itself to be able to get the note. Every other note is fine, but for A, lifting my ring finger alone is a challenge, as if my finger were 'locked'. Is there something (such as an exercise or technique) that can be done to resolve this in some way? Or am I perhaps just 'doomed to never play A' as it were?

[@bobsacamano4]

Unless this is some sort of structural issue with your hand it's likely just a proprioception thing. Related/unrelated I used to not be able to raise my right big toe off the ground without the other toes coming off the ground as well. With practice and concerted effort in 'feeling' that toe, I was able to do it. Good luck!

[@DarkBlueToilet]

@@bobsacamano4 It is possible that I have (or lack) a double joint in my hand that may also cause the issue, but proprioception could also be a culprit here. I'll have to try the method you mentioned with your big toe and see if it can eventually lead to success. Thanks for the input!

[@StarChild1109]

what if you're left-handed & might naturally gravitate to have that exact hand position, reversing dominate positionthat you demonstrate. only mirror image. I play stringed instruments & keyboard. Ambidextrous w/some things but seems, without benefit of a physical one, my hand position seems to do the exact thing only w/the other hand, dunno w/o actually having one in hand, which I plan to acquire. The one you are holding is beautiful. Can't wait to get one. Does printed music appear as in ? keyboard notes on a music staff.

[@rubygwin-knickerbocker1503]

Hi there! All of my notes sound a little bit flatter than yours. Do you think it’s a breathing technique thing or something else?

[@darrylstone4040]

I have 2 12 hole C major ocarinas and I also have a B flat can the B flat be played with C major material but it will a lower pitch? Thank's.

[@ZeldaACFan17]

The fingerings will be the same if the B flat ocarina is the same style (12-hole transverse or 4 to 6 hole pendant for example), so the only differences will be the pitch and how much air is needed to play the notes 🙂 You'd just have to learn which fingering is for which note on your B flat ocarina compared to the standard C major key 😉

[@auroraackley227]

Tried going to STL to bookmark it for later to get a better instrument after learning how to play the one I got not long ago, first cheaper one for learning second better one for 'real' play type of thing, but my computer wouldn't allow me to go there giving me a not safe warning. Why would it do that?

[@princessinfrills]

Tip for myself: don't play in front on a fan. Not a good idea if you want it to sound somewhat good lmao

[@Lasekk]

Mine is kinda.. 'Windy'? It plays all notes that are with all fobgers on the left side covering the holes, but with the pitch ones, it just doesn't make a proper sound

[@The_AuraMaster]

As much as I genuinely wanna learn, I also kinda wanna troll my friends by spelling words with the notes lol.

@@INBEEVR so I assume that means it wasn’t made professionally, maybe.. I don’t know how to help you, since I don’t play ocarina, but I know if it’s airy it’s usually because of the quality of the ocarina itself, not the person playing it
