About

Ocarina Studio

Features
Read full description

Ocarina Studio is a focused teacher for a real 12-hole Alto C ocarina. Learn the exact fingering for every note, build a steady tone with the long-tone coach, and get an honest note-by-note verdict from your microphone, worked out on your iPhone. NEW: LONG-TONE COACH (FREE) On an ocarina your breath sets the pitch: more air goes sharp, less goes flat. Pick a note, hear it, then hold it. The coach draws your pitch line against a ±10-cent band and tells you whether the hold was steady, sharp, flat or wobbly, and what to change in your breath. LEARN STEP BY STEP • 12 playable lessons across four progressive units • The first 3 lessons are free • Exact 12-hole patterns from the two sub-holes through the upper register • A highlighted note, fingering, pitch difference and visible beat while you play 36 SONGS, CHECKED NOTE BY NOTE Public-domain folk, classical and seasonal melodies, each with a complete 12-hole score and a fingering for every note: Ode to Joy, Greensleeves, Scarborough Fair, Amazing Grace, Sakura Sakura, Au Clair de la Lune, Danny Boy (Londonderry Air), Silent Night, Deck the Halls and more. 12 songs are free. PRACTISE WITH HONEST FEEDBACK The app measures the room before a take and listens on your device. Clear performances get note-by-note clean, timing, off-note and missed results. If there is not enough microphone evidence, the take is shown as Not graded instead of inventing a score. FREE, USEFUL AND COMPLETE • Chromatic tuner with live microphone level • Long-tone coach with a live pitch line • 12-hole C and G fingering charts • The first 3 course lessons • 12 complete songs with graded takes • Unlimited private MusicXML import and play-along preview • A pocket ocarina you can play with your breath or touch-only OCARINA STUDIO PRO: PAY ONCE Pro unlocks all 12 course lessons, 24 more graded pieces, Wait Mode on every playable piece and grading for your private MusicXML imports. Wait Mode advances only after the exact written note is heard in tune. Pro is a one-time purchase in the app, so no subscription is needed, and Restore Purchases brings it back on a new iPhone. The App Store shows the price before you buy. Microphone pitch processing stays on your device and recordings are never uploaded. No ads.
