Is it hard to learn the ocarina?
The ocarina is an excellent beginner instrument. It is easy to learn, difficult to master, and relatively inexpensive to purchase. Because of its simple structure and form, the ocarina is a good starting point for anyone who wants to learn to play and read music.
How do you practice ocarina quietly?
You can mute an ocarina by blowing it very softly. Ocarinas behave differently depending on how hard they are blown, and when blown very softly, before they start to break into their normal sounding mode, they produce a low volume squeaking sound.
