Ocarina Arena
Ocarina teaching materials from ocarinaarena.com, and the copy the museum keeps of it.
A note from the museum
This page is the museum’s account of a website it has preserved. It is not by the people who made it, and nothing from the site is republished here.
Ocarina Arena was run by Diane and Kristie, and they were teachers rather than makers. The site is gone.
What it carried was classroom material: workshops, lesson plans, a notation system of their own devising, a CD, and — the detail that gives it away — material mapped against the National Music Standards. This was written for teachers who needed to justify an instrument to a curriculum.
That makes it the only thing in this collection that documents the ocarina as a classroom instrument in the United States. Every other site here is a workshop, a shop or a collector. The ocarina has been handed to schoolchildren by the thousand, and this is the museum’s only record of anyone thinking carefully about how.

Rights, and what is published
Nothing.
The museum does not know whether Diane and Kristie are contactable, and has not asked. Preserving something and publishing it are different acts, and the museum will do the first without the second.
