Hello♪

I’m Haruna Shiina (椎名春奈), an Ocarina player.

Why don’t you enjoy playing music with the ocarina, which has a soothing sound and can be played by anyone?

It’s also easy to carry around! The ocarina is a great choice for those who want to try playing some kind of musical instrument.

You don’t need to be able to read music notes to play the ocarina.

If you are a beginner, I will carefully teach you from the very basics such as how to hold the ocarina, posture, and how to breathe.

I can also help students who have played the ocarina in the past, to solve their problems so that they can advance to the next level. I can also teach you how to use your fingers, replacement fingers, ‘musical Slur’, and other effective articulations to make the music you want to play sound good.

I offer lessons in any genre, including classical, pop, enka, folklore, children’s songs, shoka, movie music, and anime songs such as Ghibli. I can also suggest songs that you might enjoy playing.

I can also provide instruction for multi-tube ocarinas (double and triplet), so why not try a triple ocarina with a three-octave range? You will be able to expand your range of music and enjoy the ocarina even more♪


☆Please prepare your own ocarina for the lesson.
You can take the lesson with your own ocarina, regardless of the manufacturer. You can also use plastic ocarinas.

※If you are a beginner, I recommend the alto C ocarina. (Osawa ocarina plastic AC 2,500 yen + tax)
