Ever been curious about the mythical ocarina from Zelda Ocarina of Time? Well it's a real instrument! Enjoy video games and their music? Come and learn the ancient instrument and the tunes from Zelda, other video games, movies and much more.

Don't know where to buy an ocarina? I can help direct you to the finest handmade instruments from around the world, and if you're on a budget, the best ocarinas at a low price.

Just after a one-off lesson to start? That's fine too! I can teach you the fundamentals and then you can learn on your own. Or I can teach you an ongoing series of lessons, honing the lessons to focus on your favourite music.
