Ocarina Workshop Music Code-Cracker starter box

The Ocarina workshop Music Code-Cracker starter box

This pack encourages young students to listen to the sounds that are all around them and become a sound 'code-cracker' by imitating each sound pattern in class through singing, playing and composing. Building up listening and communication skills through music is a brilliant and fun way for kids to learn - all aspects of the Code-Cracker pack helping you achieve this with your class. The student book includes 20 tunes with fingercharts, notation, words, and guitar chords. The 12 4-hole ocarinas are made of hard wearing plastic and are supplied in a range of fun colours, all in a handy presentation box. They are easy to clean - simply apply anti-bac spray and wipe with a dry cloth.

Benefits of the ocarina

These ocarinas are accessible, and they produce a wonderfully clear and gentle sound, allowing everyone to express their musical creativity. Simplicity aids creativity, and with a limited number of holes to cover, pre-school children and pupils with the use of only one hand can play specially adapted 4-hole music on the one-handed ocarinas. Students who may struggle to read music can read and follow the ocarina tablature.
