Learn to play the ocarina

So it turns our the ocarina I was given is not a very good one. It is too airy on the high notes. So that means I get to shop for a new one! That is exciting because I can get exactly what I want. I think I will go for a 12 hole traverse (sweet potato).

I am learning a lot about the instrument on this forum I found. You should check it out if you are serious about learning this instrument:

So I was just given a 10 hole ocarina for my birthday. It is fun!

I wasn’t sure whether to make this goal “master the ocarina” or this. I went with this goal because it is something I can actually achieve in a reasonable amount of time, instead of this sitting on my list endlessly and growing stale.

Actually, I may have already achieved this because I can play many of the songs in my song book, up to the first 6 notes. But for clarity, I will define this goal as such:

1. Be able to play all the notes on the ocarina, including sharps and flats.

2. Be able to read sheet music and play accurately by sight, keeping tempo and not making many errors.

3. Be able to improvise so it sounds pleasing to others.
