Ocarina FUNdamentals for 6 Hole Ocarina + An Additional 6-hole Plastic Ocarina

Great learning bundle and fun for kids

I purchased this for my kids (4 and 2 yrs), so they would stop playing with my ocarina, and we all love it! Package came with two 6-hole ocarinas (one green, one blue thankfully) and two CDs as stated. The 6-hole ocarinas are the tenor ones for Beginners and Young Musicians (NOT the soprano ones). They're 3 inches wide, 4 in long, and 2 in thick. Plastic is durable and has not broken despite my kids dropping and throwing them. They have a great sound and no matter how horribly my kids play, they do not squeak or shriek like a recorder. They are TOO BIG for them though. The largest holes (left hand) are 3/8 inch across which is too big for the 4 yr old (she can play the right hand and thumb holes fine but most notes are impossible without the left hand). It's sized fine for adults. The CDs are a desktop version of the Art of Ocarina Method Book - Volume 3 for 6-hole ocarina and the accompanying demonstration CD. The 100 page method book is great for beginners and teaches both how to play the ocarina and how to read sheet music (not tabs). The 32-track demonstration CD plays songs that are exercises in the method book, with an ocarina playing over accompanying music. The tracks don't feature a count-in measure before playing but start immediately, which makes it more for example than practicing with (at least for child students). Adults or experienced musicians could jump in once they have the tempo memorized. The kids love them, and I would recommend the bundle for beginners. Maybe not for those under 5 due to the left hand hole sizes, but kids under 5 probably also aren't serious about learning. My kids use them mostly as toys or pretending to be me with my ocarina. When they're older, I'll work on actually teaching them to play. (This review is also on the 1 ocarina bundle since it was still unrated at the time, though I bought this 2 ocarina bundle).
