OMG, one of my favorite songs ever, and Elisa played it so beautifully!! 😭 I'm always looking forward to more videos from you, you're the best, Elisa! 👏🏻👏🏻 P.S.: Hopefully I'm receiving my package from STL this week! 🤞🏻
Beautiful. I'm still trying to get the notes to sound right and afford each one the proper amount of time when playing them together so it sounds kind of like it might maybe be the song I was trying to play. I'm still a raw beginner, even though I've picked up and put down my ocarina for years. Something else always came along that messed up my practice time, most notably my job as a teacher.* But now that I'm retired, I have a lot more time to practice, and I'm committing to learning to play passably. You see, I've tried piano, drums, trumpet, and guitar, all when I was younger, and I was horrible at all of them. I thought that the recorder might work out for me, especially after I was gifted with the knowledge that it was once considered a serious instrument and not just a toy used to teach children musical basics.* However, my advancing arthritis messed that up. Speaking of arthritis, I've found that I can't hold a sweet potato ocarina without a degree of difficulty, but a 6 hole pendant ocarina suits my hands just fine. Now I just have to devote myself to practicing it. * When I was my elementary school's Science Lab Teacher, my lab was right next door to the Music Room. When we got a new Music Teacher a few years after I took over the Lab, I tried to convince him to use ocarinas instead of recorders to teach music basics to the kids. He could have bought a lot more 6 hole pendant ocarinas for the same amount of money that he spent on fewer recorders. Sure, they'd be cheap, low quality, plastic ocarinas, but the recorders he got were also low quality pieces of plastic. And they would have fit the kids' hands better. But he wanted to stay with the traditional recorders. Sigh! So I adjusted the program I made for creating sheet music with ocarina tabs beneath each note (using Microsoft Paint) into one with recorder tabs instead. I then downloaded it onto his computer so that he could use it to write his own tab lessons and then use the projection board to show the kids everything step-by-step. I created the ocarina tabbed sheet music program out of frustration. When I was first learning to play, all of the sheet music that I found online was just the tabs, with no standard notation and staff lines. If you weren't familiar with the song and all you had were the tabs, you didn't know how long to play each note, nor if there were any rests anywhere in the song. Grrr. I made a lot of my own sheet music with both tabs and notes. In fact, I filled up a thick binder with them. I'm not using them anymore because I'm trying to play from just the sheet music without tabs.
Your dedication to learning the ocarina shines through your comment, and it's wonderful to hear about your journey with music. It sounds like you've overcome various challenges to pursue your passion, and that's truly inspiring. Transitioning from being a teacher to retirement must bring about a change in routine, and it's fantastic that you're using this time to delve deeper into your musical interests. Your experience with different instruments and your efforts to adapt your skills to accommodate your arthritis demonstrate a strong commitment to your musical pursuits. It's fascinating to hear about your innovative approach to incorporating ocarinas into music education, despite the traditional preference for recorders. Your creativity in developing sheet music with ocarina tabs is commendable and reflects your determination to make learning music accessible and enjoyable for students. Thank you for sharing your story with us, and we wish you the best on your journey to mastering the ocarina. Keep practicing, stay inspired, and enjoy the musical adventure ahead!
@@Heathersocarina Thank you for your kind reply. Would you like to see a few samples of my ocarina sheet music that has tabs and notes? I could email them to you.
Love the pairing of that particular ocarina and outfit! Great video. Is that the actual ocarina you recorded, or is it just for the video? Cool stuff either way.
What beautiful and peaceful music with that awesome zelda potato flute
Awesome!!!
