Playing tips for Mijana (Lebanon, 1900)

• Start each note cleanly with a gentle tongue stroke (whisper "too" or "doo").
• Seal every hole completely with the soft pads of your fingers, not your fingertips.
• The ocarina's pitch follows your breath: blowing softer lowers the pitch, blowing harder raises it.
• F# uses a cross-fingering: check that the holes around the open one stay firmly sealed.
