Revolutionise your music lessons for ever! This PC Software has been developed for whole-class ocarina lessons and is at the cutting-edge of music education.
Designed to accompany whole classes of Oc® ocarinas, this CD-Rom has all the tunes in Play your Ocarina Book 1.
Each tune can be projected in four different ways to show your preferred combination of Oc-Pix, Oc-Box, words and standard musical notation (see three examples above).
You can also choose the style and speed of the accompaniment to match the skills of the children in your class from super-slow to full performance. The finger-charts and notes light up as the music plays, so that ocarina players at all stages of learning can follow and join in successfully.

Since 1983, Ocarina Workshop ocarinas have been played in primary and secondary school classrooms throughout the UK and across the world, for whole class music taught by the class teacher, and also for clubs and groups. The Ocarina Rainbow Starter Box™ provides an ocarina and book for 12 children and is the most widely purchased ocarina product for schools. Three Ocarina Rainbow Starter Boxes™ equip a whole class. Ocarina Workshop give a set of Flashcards and Book 1 with CD FREE when three boxes are ordered together through this website (see Class Packs). The CD-Rom Software supplements these Class Packs perfectly, and provides a wealth of additional teaching opportunities. Delivery is free on all orders over £30.
Class Music at KS1 and KS2 (P1-7) has been transformed with the introduction of the Ocarina. In the hands of music specialists, primary school children achieve a higher level of musical performance with the ocarina than with other musical instruments – this is true for most children in the class, throughout Key-Stage 1 and Key-Stage 2.
Ocarina Teaching Resources are prepared in such a way as to enable every class teacher to successfully teach music to their own classes. For many this is revolutionary, especially if the teacher has never previously played a musical instrument themselves. Ocarina Workshop's pledge is to provide Music for Every Child and Every Teacher™
The ocarina is widely used to fulfil the Government's Music Strategy known as Wider Opportunities. Offered by many Music Services as an instrument of choice, and also taught by the class teacher to ensure progression and musical provision beyond the remit of Wider Opportunities Music Strategy.
