*my is accurate according to stl and by hearing(sound)

Posted your 6 hole pendant what? Fingering chart comparison with notes on the staff?

no, what note goes on the staff
STL blog has a chart on where is start and goes and how to play them on every ocarina they have.

I'm glad I found this.

...I loathe attempting to read music, but I guess in the end it is going to help me a lot more than just reading good ol' tabs.

Nothing worse than using tabs that don't sound appropriate with my ocarina anyway.

I'll make good use of your guide! .___.!

Ok, I haven´t read all the above posts but here might be something interesting:

Check it out and post your reviews on it. I personally haven´t test it out.

Someone corrected some of my grammar mistakes on the wiki-page. Who ever you were, thank you for that.

I re-wrote a small part of the "How do I play it on ocarina?" part. Should be more clearer now, I hope. Also laziness took the better of me, and I never bothered to make those fingering charts for pendants. I linked tuneofwind's and Aryah's fingering charts instead. Thanks for them.

this help me very much, but so you have a chart for a 8 hole ocarina. I have a chart but it says the do re mi fa so la ti scale and doesnt tell me what "letter notes" are which fingerings

those should directly correlate to the letters
Do=C, Re=D, Mi=E, etc. I am fairly new to music theory(I have taken band for 6 years now but only with my new band teacher developed a love for music...he is a great teacher) but I think Do, re, mi, etc. are used in choral groups and C,D,E, etc. used in instrumental groups, this is what I have gather from talking to friends in chorus who say they use Do,Re,Mi,etc. in class, but if there is some deeper meaning or reason that I am unaware of please let me know

No OcarinaMan333, You can't automatically say that his peruvian ocarina is in C Major. IT can be in F major and it can start out with Do=F, but you don't no that. The only way you might figure the tuned key is with a tuner.

True, but it doesn't matter in what key the ocarina is in. You can treat it as C ocarina anyway and play any song just fine. So go with the "DO = C, RE = D..."

I never said it was in C major the C,D,E i refer to is the instrument's C,D,E not the concert C,D,E, for an instrument tuned in F their C is a F major, you said Do=F which would be F major, I was saying Do=C in the concert pitch, while I understand what you were saying, when I refer to a note I refer to the concert pitch, so in concert pitch Do will equal C

though technically we are both correct, you are speaking Major and I concert

Hey Teidon, I have been using your sheet music a lot, and also the fingering charts you provided in this thread; you know the ones that were done by Maparam, and "Edited by you for ease". Well Hey I have a recommendation/request. On those edited fingering charts can you possibly put in the Alphabetical letters of the scale, with the notes and the fingering? It would just be nice to have like, all the info right in front of me at once I guess.

Just my two cents, thanks for everything, you've already done so much! And keep up the good work. Your sheet music is the best on this site IMHO.

Updated.

And thanks for your comment/compliment.

Omg thank you so much! This is so helpful! I printed out the guide so i can study it more in school lol. My friends said I was hopeless to learn now. But this is amazing thank you so much!

It's great to see so many people really interested in reading "real" music. Keep in mind that the staff etc. draws a picture. When the notes go up the staff - the pitch gets higher - and you will remove fingers. (and the reverse). Also, the more "stuff" on the note - the faster it is. The longest note (whole) is a round hole. Then things are added. So a note reading musician sees and hears the music at the same time. It is a system that has existed for hundreds of years so there must be a reason - it works!!
