How to Play This Little Light of Mine on the 6 Hole Ocarina

About This Little Light of Mine

#

This gospel children’s song dates from the early twentieth century. Its authorship is not firmly settled, and it is often treated as a traditional piece. It later became one of the anthems of the American civil rights movement, sung at marches and meetings, and that double life of Sunday school and protest line is part of its staying power.

It has one of the smallest ranges here, spanning only from C up to A, so it never nears the top of the 6-hole ocarina. That, along with its short repeating phrases, makes it one of the easiest tunes on the site to pick up as a first song.

This Little Light of Mine Lyrics

#

This little light of mine,
I’m gonna let it shine.
This little light of mine,
I’m gonna let it shine.
This little light of mine,
I’m gonna let it shine.
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
