How to Play I'm a Little Teapot on the 6 Hole Ocarina

About I’m a Little Teapot

#

I’m a Little Teapot is one of the few nursery standards with a firm birthdate. It was written in 1939 by George Harold Sanders and Clarence Kelley, an American songwriting pair who wanted a simple number children could act out, tipping to one side to pour like a spout. Unlike most rhymes here, it has a known author and a copyright history rather than a foggy folk past.

The melody covers a full octave on the six-hole ocarina, from low C up to high C, so it asks a bit more of a new player than a three-note tune does. Take the climb slowly and the leaps fall into place.
