How to Play Frosty the Snowman on the 6 Hole Ocarina

About Frosty the Snowman

#

This one is not a carol at all but a novelty pop song, written in 1950 by Walter Rollins and Steve Nelson and first recorded by Gene Autry, who was fresh off his hit with “Rudolph.” The writers wanted to catch the same lightning twice, and a snowman who comes to life for a day did the trick.

The melody is playful and moves in tidy steps, which suits a 6-hole ocarina well. Most of it sits in a comfortable middle register, reaching up to a high D only now and then, so it makes a good song to learn once you are past your very first tunes and want something with a bit of swing.
