The Ocarina is one of the oldest instruments known to man, dating back 12,000 years. Ocarinas have been made of different materials over the years including wood, clay, bones, metal, plastic, and well, yes….iPhones! Perfect for children or adults with little or no musical background, Smule’s songbook will teach you to play eight different folk songs like Kumbayah or Amazing Grace in no time. You can quickly become an Ocarina master and begin to develop a solid foundation in basic music theory along the way.
The Ocarina literally transforms the iPhone into a real instrument where sound is generated by the notes, gestures and nuance of the individual performer. It allows users to hear live performances from around the world, see exactly where they come from. Because of this, over a million users of all ages, ability and musical background, have practiced and performed their Ocarinas, shared their melodies and been brought one step closer to each other with this worldwide musical network.
On Monday, you can download a free version of the songbook on Smule’s website at www.smule.com"
