How to Play Breathe (Michael W. Smith) on the 6 Hole Ocarina

About Breathe

#

This quiet worship song was written by Marie Barnett and became widely known when Michael W. Smith recorded it on his 2001 album “Worship.” It is a modern praise chorus rather than a traditional hymn, built on a short, repeating line meant to be sung softly.

Because the words repeat so much, the tune is short and easy to hold in memory on the 6-hole ocarina. It moves between E and the D an octave above without any large jumps, so the challenge is less about the notes and more about keeping a soft, even breath across the long, sustained phrases.
