Do you have an aspiring musician in your home?
The St. Louis School of Music has developed a tea cup that’s also a flute. The Teacarina is a great gift idea for the aspiring musician in your family and means learning to play an instrument can cost as little as $18.
The Teacarina is a true original: a combination teacup and ocarina that lets you play simple tunes between sips of your favorite hot drink. This instrument is a form of an ocarina, a pocket-sized wind instrument with roots in the dawn of history. Each product comes with an instruction booklet. Music is produced by blowing through an air chamber, changing pitch by fingering four holes of various sizes on the side on the cup.
See how it works:
I received a Teacarina to review. The Teacarina is a type of Ocarina. This family of wind instruments has been around for approximately 12,000 years. They can ben made from ceramic, clay, wood, glass, bone or plastic and they come in a variety of shapes and sizes. There is a mouthpiece that you blow into and 4-12 holes that can be covered or uncovered to produce different notes.
My son, Braxton (who is seven-years old) has expressed a true interest in playing music. He is following in the footsteps of my oldest son who is the lead singer in his band and plays the lead guitar. Anyway, Braxton has a drum set, an electric guitar and was excited to try the Teacarina. He had never played a woodwind instrument.. He is learning how to properly place his fingers over the holes to change the pitch and play the tunes. He can already play “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.” I love hearing him diligently practice. It is much more pleasant to hear my child playing the Teacarina than those loud drums of his,for goodness sake! The sound the Teacarina makes is very sweet. It is music to my ears.
