A collection of folk music to play by ear on the ocarina
A large collection of folk music that fits in the range of a 10/11/12 hole single chamber ocarina. They range from easy, to long and complex. It is ordered by difficulty, with early tunes always having following notes close by.
These tunes are provided along with a tool that breaks the music down into short phrases, loops them, and uses pitch detection to progress through the melody as you play each phrase correctly
If you are new to playing by ear and would like some guidance, please see How to start playing the ocarina by ear.
