Review: Effectively teaches fingering and hold techniques for an easy, capable musical instrument - Learning how to play any musical instrument is difficult. The single chamber, 12-hole, transverse ocarina with "Taiwanese" style subholes is as easy an instrument as they come... and capable of playing music within a limited tonal range. This book very affectively teaches the fingering and hold techniques required to play this type of ocarina. I picked up on it quickly and naturally, despite being clumsy with no experience playing wind instruments. However, the book still is very difficult to learn regarding playing from sheet music instead of tableture (ocarina tabs). With this book's expert help, I got the split fingering down and can use all ten fingers to play the notes, including the extra two subholes, while still supporting the ocarina well through all the vicarious movements. I started with this book and have never dropped an ocarina. The skills taught in this book translate into using more advanced, multi-chamber ocarinas with more tonal range as the musician improves. The book does not teach you directly all those skills, though. It creates the foundation for that. The book is well-rounded, teaching the other skills associated with playing the 12-hole ocarina, also. Nothing is left out.
Review: One-on-one lessons with an Ocarina Diva! - I’ve seen Cris Gale in concert and it is my opinion that she is one of the best Ocarina players around. When I found out she was releasing an Ocarina Method book through Hal Leonard, the world’s largest music print publisher, I knew this book was going to be top notch! Being a beginner in music in general I was pleasantly surprised to see that the layout of the book is perfect for myself as a beginner and also the intermediate musician. The first several pages are dedicated to a quick history of the instrument, types of ocarinas and music theory. Then immediately I’m playing my first note by page 12. The instruction is not overly difficult to understand and the graphics are very easy to follow. I was a little surprised by the price breakdown of the book. Half of the price goes toward the book itself and the other half toward online videos. I used the access code in the book to quickly pull up the videos and I was floored to see 21 videos dedicated to each chapter in the book! These can be viewed online or downloaded to watch later. This is FULL ACCESS to one-on-one instruction with Cris Gale! It’s very professional and does not disappoint. I’m pretty sure I’d be paying much much more than 12 bucks to get this kind of private one-on-one instruction. Each video mirrors what is in the book and I can see how she plays the instrument so I know instantly if my technique is wrong. What a great product! It will take me a while to master this instrument but Cris makes it extremely easy to jump in and get started right away.
