How to Play Baa Baa Black Sheep on the 6 Hole Ocarina

About Baa Baa Black Sheep

#

Baa Baa Black Sheep is one of the oldest nursery rhymes still in everyday use. A version appears in Tommy Thumb’s Pretty Song Book, printed in London around 1744, and the little exchange between the questioner and the sheep has stayed almost unchanged since. The tune sounds familiar for a reason: it shares its melody with Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and the alphabet song, all borrowed from an old French air.

For a beginner on the six-hole ocarina it sits comfortably. The notes run from low C up to A with no accidentals, and the repeated phrases give your fingers a pattern to settle into quickly.
