Ah i just realized that the pentatonic scale is basically the native american scale with the base note or vis versa. Cool! That makes it a lot easier to remember!
I downloaded the smule app, and it works great, but I can't seem to get used to all the combos. Any tips to help me play faster? I want to be able to play the iphone oc before I buy an actual one.
@zeldazoneman It does but at least I can still play video games :P there is a bright side to just about every dark side so I'm good I was just curious :)
Hey Docjazz! I have a really important question that I need an answer to! Do the scales shown in the video also work for a Seedpod Ocarina? I really need to know. Thanks in advanced!! :D
@docjazz4 My ocarina is like this one but a little bigger and one only hole on the back instead of two. That doesn't change anything from what is shown in this video does it? (<--I'm not talking about the real technical stuff) :)
Thank you SO much for all your videos! I just purchased my first really good ocarina--an english pendant--at the Renaissance Faire in Irwindale, California. I don't quite know how I ran across your videos, but because of them it got me interested in playing a variety of different instruments--including the recorder, alto recorder, irish penny whistle, and now, finally, the ocarina. This video will be great for helping me learn basic fingering--it's a bit more complex than it seems! :)
Hey Doc, I bought an oc a little while ago, 'cause I'm a flute nut. I got it at this hippy-dippy shop, (it's got a peace sign on it) and didn't really know what kind it was. I think it's an english pendant. it's shaped like a whoopee cushion, with four holes in the "front, and two in the "back." The fipple is in the back. The one you have has different sized holes. With mine, they all seem to be the same size. D'you think I bought a dud? It sounds kinda wispy and the scales seem...off somehow.
@coyotecrow4 Sounds like it might be a Peruvian ocarina. In my experience, Peruvian ocarinas, while pretty cool, are very airy and do not have a clear tone.
I have a question about breathing. Do you just blow into the ocarina? Or do you have to angle your breath and other stuff like that when playing, like on a flute?
I know that some ocarina's require more air than others, but I'm still confused about the breathing part, because on a flute if you angle the air even a little off it sounds airy...
@FaroresCourage there is infact a breathing angle technique, but it onley apply to ocarinas with a fipple; the fipple bend.
the fipple bend works by using your upper of lower lip to cover the extra square shaped hole known as the fipple to lower the tone by a semi or whole tone. other than that, i don't think there are any preathing angle techniques. the ocarina mainly uses breath preassure to alter it's tone, and it generally does this better than tubular instruments.
@goldengreaser Pendants can come in many ranges, as in some of his other videos have a Tenor ocarina. I do not believe that this ocarina is a Tenor, it seems like Alto or Soprano.
what key is this ocarina in? and is this a soprano ? ( if possible do you think you can suggest a website i might be able to buy one like this from ? )
what is the sound of the ocarina ? like is this a soprano? sorry im a bit new to this i just kind of want to get this kind ur using now, so .. if you can please tell me and the key ? please and thank you
I wanna get the 6-hole soprano ocarina shaped like a rupee as my first ocarina; is a 6-hole easier to play? Plz help, i might as well ask an expert :U
Hey David I was watching this video and I liked the scales, so I have a Hardwood G from mountain ocarinas,,,can you tell me how to play those scales in my inline ocarina??? =)
@eyemonlay14 chances are that you got an alto or tenor ocarina, while his (I believe) is a soprano. Your ocarina is probably in the same key, but it just produces a lower sound.
Very informational...love it!! I just ordered one on one of the sites you suggested. I can't wait to get it!! :D Thanks so much for the vid! :) I feel so motivated!
Ok, I have wanted one of these for about a decade. Messing around with the ocarina apps on various gadgets has convinced me I could actually do it. Thanks for the links, I'm gonna order one! ^_^
NGnohohon - you'll notice that no mouth hole is shown on the score/ tabs, which is why you're getting confused. on the tabs, the mouthhole is actually at the bottom. hope that make it easier
lol I'm so glad my mom got me an ocarina at the grand canyon :P I think it only has 8 holes though.. :'( so I guess that's actually 9..........lol piano is so much less confusing
I just recently bought an English Pendant from a cool store at the Renaissance Festival. I can't figure out what key it is in, but it's about the size of my palm. I think it might be Bass D?
i found an ocarina online that was called tear drop which looks similar to the english pendant but it looks plastic and im afraid to buy it. any suggestions?
david if u got my previous comment nvm i found ANOTHER video on you showing me how to do the fipple bend then i watched your ocarina songs and im practicing the song of storms now! :D THX FOR MAKING ALL THE HELPFULL VIDEOS!
ive seen alot of your videos... i just got an english pendant ocarina and i have no idea what to do... i want to play the song of storms and i want to know how to do the fipple bend trick
