How to Play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on the 6 Hole Ocarina

About Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

#

The words to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star come from a poem called The Star, written by the English author Jane Taylor and published in 1806. The tune is older still and French in origin, and Mozart had already written a set of keyboard variations on it years before Taylor’s verse was ever attached. That shared source is why the same melody also carries the alphabet song and Baa Baa Black Sheep.

On the six-hole ocarina it is a dependable early piece. The notes run from low C up to A with no sharps or flats, and the clear, symmetrical phrases make it easy to hear when a note has landed in the wrong place.
