Playing tips for Hevenu Shalom Aleichem (We Bring You Peace)

• 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.
• The low notes need the gentlest breath of all. If a low note warbles or squeaks, soften your breath and check that your lower fingers fully seal their holes.
• The highest notes need firm, focused breath. Raise your breath slightly and keep the ocarina level so the airstream splits cleanly.
• B♭ uses a cross-fingering pattern. Keep the open hole free and blow with a steady, relaxed breath.
• High C# is played with the left thumb open (or half-covered on 12-hole ocarinas). Balance the ocarina gently on your right thumb and pinky.
• G# needs one hole half covered: slide your finger to open just half of it, and listen until the note settles between G and A.
