My sheet music includes fingering positions, letter-coded notation, and song lyrics for a 4-hole ocarina. Although your ocarina has just 4 holes, this small instrument can produce 8 natural notes, the full range from C to C, and 5 flat or sharp notes: a total of 13 notes.
This songbook is suitable for a 6-hole ocarina also, in this case, 2 holes on the back side of the instrument should be always covered with thumbs.
The fingering positions are shown in the e-book graphically on an image of a standard-shaped ocarina with four holes. Each hole on the ocarina is represented by circles. The circles filled in black indicate which holes should be covered while playing. The open circles mean they should be uncovered. The bottom circles correspond to the holes on the ocarina which are closest to your mouth. Circles on the left are played using the left hand and are played with the index and middle fingers, while those on the right side are played with the same fingers on the right hand.
Ocarinas always have 1 hole which is never covered. This is the place where sound is released from the ocarina, which is called the whistle.
The 4-hole ocarina is a simple beginner instrument. It is cheap and portable, has a simple structure and form, and is easy to begin to play.
Ocarinas are made from a variety of materials. The most popular models are made of plastic, porcelain, ceramic, or wood.
My sheet music is based on a 4-hole ocarina tuned in C Major.

The xylophone is the most important traditional folk instrument on the African continent, alongside the drum. Usually, African scales differ from Western ones. The African xylophones mostly have 5, 6, or 7-note (pentatonic, hexatonic, heptatonic) scales, while Western instruments typically have a diatonic scale. Rhythm is the most distinguishing characteristic of African music and it always prevails over the melody.
The songs in this e-book have been adapted and can be played on all models of popular wooden xylophone, metal glockenspiel (metallophone), or resonator blocks. Even a simple kids’ xylophone will be adequate to play most of these songs. Some songs here have been simplified for beginners.
The same song played on a wooden xylophone and on a metallophone will result in very different sounds. Due to their clear rhythmic patterns, African songs are an ideal material for any kind of musician. You will find both diatonic and chromatic scores. Some melodies have been especially transposed to a diatonic range to allow you to play them on the most popular models of xylophone.
This e-book is aimed at those new to music and musical instruments and I put letter notation above the notes to make it possible for you to confidently begin playing.
Since African music assumes improvisation and variation, I recommend using this sheet music only as a guide. The most important thing is to listen and repeat the recordings linked to the QR code, so you can listen to the rhythm before beginning to play.

The unique advantage of bell sets is the fact that each note is created by an individual bell, and so the notes that are not used in a particular song can be removed and the student has a greater chance for success. A handbell orchestra acts as one instrument, with each musician responsible for their particular notes, sounding their assigned bells whenever those notes appear in the music.
If you are a beginner, playing by note can be difficult. It is easier to follow color-coded circles with note letters. Just by following the color circles, you will sound like an experienced musician.
All songs were written with circles in the musical staff, and there are no stems or flags - only notes on the line - to keep it simple. This e-book was written with beginners in mind.
The color of the bells or resonator blocks must be the same as the color of the bells below.
C (Do) - red,
D (Re) - orange,
E (Mi) - yellow,
F (Fa) - green,
G (Sol) - light blue,
A (La) - blue,
B (Ti) - violet,
C8 (Do) - white
If the colors of the keys of your instrument don’t match the colors of the notes in our book, we offer an uncolored version as an alternative. You can mark the circles with the color that matches your bells or the keys of your xylophone using a PDF editor or print the pages and color them with pencils.

This e-book includes complete melodies as well as substantial segments of uncomplicated, famous traditional folk songs from different countries around the world. Their goal was to assist you in acquainting your students with the musical traditions of diverse nations and cultures.
I’ve gathered 50 different national songs adapted for the recorder musical instrument including lyrics, classic sheet music, letter-coded notations, and online audio tracks.
This musical e-book is suitable for kids or adult beginners. The songbook is designed with national patterns. You will enjoy folk music, children’s songs, hymns, and popular melodies.
This learning e-book will help you begin to play music simply and easily.
My recorder solo sheet music is universal, songs are written with classic musical notations and letters inside the notes.
Some melodies have been changed and simplified to beginners.
Also, I have added a QR code to all songs. You can follow the link and listen to the rhythm before beginning to play.
In many ways, music is a universal language, crossing borders and opening up a whole new world to your mind.

This e-book consists of 2 sections.
The first is with the “3 Little Pigs” fairy tale.
This game illustrates how any simple story or fairy tale can be accompanied by musical activity. The Three Little Pigs fairy tale with Musical Score was written using the Orff music approach. Each event in this story is accompanied by musical activity.
Orff believed that each child should not be a passive listener, but an active co-creator. You and your kids can play using a percussion instrument musical set, and any other musical sounds you can come up with.
The second part has games to be played with a tambourine.
These games develop phonetic listening and kids’ rhythmic skills, which are required for reading and writing.
My tambourine e-book helps develop both by developing phonetic listening in children.
Children will play the tambourine to the beat of the music. Popular kids’ songs are written with an image of a tambourine and rhythmic notes at the word where they need to beat.
You can accompany the child with a xylophone, piano, voice, etc. This great exercise develops phonetic listening, a sense of rhythm, and the simple playing of a musical instrument.
Music is an integral part in the life of the Native Americans, playing a key role in ceremonies, recreational activities, self-expression, and healing. Many different instruments are used in Native American music, including drums, flutes, and other percussion instruments.
This e-book is suitable for most models of handpan, but if you have a tongue drum, it should have a minimum of 10 keys, because many songs in this e-book involve more than one-octave notes.
The steel tongue drum (aka tong drum, tank drum, gluck-o-phone, hapi, or steeldrum) and the handpan (aka hank drum, UFO drum, zen drum, meditation, healing, yoga, or chakra drum) are percussion musical instruments designed to help you focus on your feelings, sensations, and body.
In musical science, a unique Native American style of singing can be distinguished. It is characterized by rhythmic breathing, a tense voice, and syllabic sounds being more important than lyrics. These technical features helped the shaman achieve a trance state. Although the tongue drum is a modern musical instrument, is perfectly suitable for any tribal song.
Attention: Songs have been transposed for a DIATONIC range. Some melodies might be changed and simplified. If your drum has flat keys, it is recommended that you use the classic sheet music for the piano.
I wrote the note numbers above the notes because my sheet music is aimed at absolute beginners. Just follow numbers and enjoy.
Here you can find traditional songs, handed down from generation to generation: ceremonial (such as corn grinding or moccasin game songs) or healing songs.
Also, I added a QR code to most songs. Follow the link and find this song on YouTube, so that you can listen to the rhythm before beginning to play.
Here, I have collected only simplified diatonic melodies.

This e-book includes complete melodies as well as substantial segments of uncomplicated, famous traditional folk songs from different countries. Their goal was to assist you in acquainting your students with the musical traditions of diverse nations and cultures.
Through music, we are brought together and we can gain a better understanding of people from all corners of the Earth.
I call this series “I Don’t Read Music” since I are targeting beginners of all ages: children, teens, parents, and grandparents.
Getting to know music from around the world can be one of the most exciting and appealing ways to be introduced to new and different cultures. Music is a universal language, meaning that it transcends borders and opens up an entirely new way of thinking.
This e-book includes 53 popular, rhythmic, and easy-to-play folk songs and melodies from all over the world. Since this e-book is aimed at the absolute beginner without any knowledge of reading music, I do not use the classical music staff and do not show the note duration. Each song here is written without classic musical notation but only with circles and numbered notes inside. First of all, I recommend following the QR-code which you will find on each page, listening to the song on YouTube, and then trying to repeat what is heard in the recordings. It will help to understand the rhythm pattern and duration.
Keep in mind that folk music traditionally is not learned from sheet music or notes. Instead, it is learned by repetition and through being passed from generation to generation. I believe in this method of teaching, which is easier and more enjoyable. For learning purposes, all songs have been simplified and adapted especially for 8 key drums.

This e-book was written to help the absolute beginner, whether child or adult learn to play in a simple and easy way that requires no knowledge of reading music. If you are a beginner, playing by note can be difficult. It is easier to follow color-coded circles with note letters.
Just by following the color circles, you will sound like an experienced musician. Playing music can be as simple and enjoyable as a game. That is my goal: to give you what’s necessary to play beautiful music while having fun.
I recommend the color bell set and 8 note color resonator blocks for your child’s first musical experience.
There are 2 instruments that are best for beginners and most solfeggio teachers advise that it’s better to begin not with a piano, but with a simpler and more accessible instrument.
Important! The color of the bells or resonator blocks must be the same as the color of the scheme below. The color chromatic scale in this e-book corresponds to the popular Chroma-Notes® color system.
C (Do) - Red
D (Re) - Orange
E (Mi) - Yellow
F (Fa) - Light Green
G (Sol) - Aquamarine
A (La) - Purple
B (Ti) - Dark Pink
C8 (Do) - Red
There are 3 levels in this book.
Level 1. Play by color circle. Each song here is written with color circles and letter notes inside. The circles are grouped by rhythm. The duration of the whole, dotted half, and half notes are depicted by the arches after the circles (2, 3 or 4 beats).
Level 2. Get acquainted with the musical staff. Learn the places of each note on a staff. No note durations (note length) here.
Level 3. Play by classic note on a musical staff. Here is the “adult” musical notation: clef, duration, rests, and connection of the notes, but the helpful color circles and letters are still above the notes.
Each song was adapted for the newbie, just 8 notes (one octave).
At the end of the book, you will also find simple puzzles that will make reading notes easier.

The African songs here are written using European notation, and it should be understood that songs cannot be written as authentically as the music is played in its original form.
African music does not implement temporality or major or minor chords. Therefore, the sheet music for African songs here is like a rough draft of the original music. You won’t be able to play an African song by the sheet music alone. This is true for jazz and the blues, and it is just as true for African folk music. African music always assumes improvisation, adding variations and syncopation.
Its main task is not to be reproduced, but to get everyone involved, since music, by definition, is the expression of emotional states with the help of sounds of a certain frequency and rhythm.
This e-book was written for keyboard, but remember that traditional African music never involved or included a piano or other keyboard instrument.
An indication of the country of origin of the song is an approximation because many traditional cultures cross current national borders. The language in which the song is sung is more important, and it can be used in various countries. Most songs have been simplified for beginners and letter names have been added under the musical notes to make it possible for you to confidently begin playing.
Since African music assumes improvisation and variation, I recommend using this sheet music only as a guide.
The most important thing is to listen and repeat the recordings linked to the QR code.
My sheet music is not for a specific xylophone, but it is universal and suitable for most 8-25 note xylophones.
This e-book is aimed at those new to music and musical instruments, whether child or adult. It allows for simple and easy learning that requires no previous knowledge of reading music.
The letter notation makes it possible for you or your kids to confidently begin playing. My other e-books make it easy to play the xylophone with colored circle/letter notation. This e-book, however, includes classic note symbols so that students can begin to learn the reading of musical notes, including a musical notation showing note length, connection, etc.
Most songs in this sheet music e-book can be played within one octave on the xylophone using only 8 notes. Several songs need 1.5 or 2 octaves or a 10-15 note xylophone.
This percussion instrument develops not only a musical ear, but also gross and fine motor skills, and cognitive skills such as letter recognition, matching, and patterns.
Attention: Songs have been transposed for a DIATONIC range. Some melodies might be changed and simplified. If you have flat keys on your instrument, please use the classic music score for the piano.

Alphabet Song
All 70 songs in this e-book have been written without using the classic music score system, because it is for the absolute beginners who can’t read sheet music. This e-book is aimed at those who want to add popular melodies to their experimentation.
I used circles with numbers because most modern tongue drums have numbers engraved or painted on their keys. I do not show the note duration. You can experiment with a duration on your own.
I recommend finding each of these songs on YouTube and listening to the rhythm before beginning to play.
My sheet music is only a guide. The most important thing is to listen and repeat the recordings.
All songs from this e-book are possible to play in one octave.
These songs are suitable for a diatonic 8-note tongue drum, which should have numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 1 of the next octave.
Please note: if you have a model of the tongue drum with 5 tongues, or if some keys from the octave are missing, you will not be able to play all of the songs in this e-book.
The songbook includes very simple, popular children’s and folk songs, but even well-known children’s songs played on the tong drum will create an unusual magical sound.

This book aims to help beginners play the Tenor saxophone. The book includes 42 saxophone diagrams with fingering positions and staff notation and 42 illustrations of the fingering location on the saxophone itself. The musical notes cover almost 4 octaves from A#3 to Eb7. There are:
A#/Bb3, B3, C4, C#/Db4, D4, D#/Eb4, E4, F4, F#/Gb4, G4, G#Ab4, A4, A#/Bb4, B4 C5, C#/Db5, D5, D#/Eb5, E5, F5, F#/Gb5, G5, G#Ab5, A5, A#/Bb5, B5, C6, C#/Db6, D6, D#/Eb6, E6, F6, F#/Gb6, G6, G#/Ab6, A6, A#/Bb6, B6, C7, C#/Db7, D7, D#/Eb7
Here are the basic and altissimo fingerings suitable for the tenor saxophone. This book does not include the trill fingerings. Learn trill fingering with our book: “Saxophone Trill Fingering Chart”.
You can cut out the charts or use them directly from the booklet. Each note here has its own page in the book. One side of the page shows the connection between the dots and their fingering on a diagram, and the reverse side depicts the same fingering illustration on the musical instrument. Under the picture of the key, you will also find the fingering combinations depicted with the names of the key. Choose a style that makes it easier for
you to learn. If you are a beginner/student or even more advanced, try hanging the individual pages on the wall in front of you. The size of the cut-out is 6.5x10 inches (16x25 cm).
Enjoy and play the story about the wheels that go round and round, doors that open and shut, a horn that sounds and people who go up and down.
This is a perfect popular activity song for early learning. It is great for singing aloud, so it is good for developing fine motor skills using finger-plays.
My e-book has more pictures than words in order to methodically introduce each movement and associate it with a spoken word.
I use two kinds of pictures:
pictures that tell a story or plot which can be discussed, and
pictures showing movements that will be repeated throughout the activity songs and rhymes. They are very detailed and have visuals for each gesture so it is not necessary to go back each time.
This e-book provides instructions for the hand movements but gives the child the space for their own sense of creativity.
Kids can see, step by step and a slow pace, all gestures, try them and feel them. This gives them the chance to see themselves from the outside looking in, modifying when necessary to get it just right. This self-analyzing ability is an extremely important skill for their future lives.
Also I offer sheet music for Wheels on the Bus so you can accompany your kids, and play this melody on any kind of instrument including a toy one. It is easy to play for anyone! The melody has been simplified and now everybody will be able to play it without any previous musical knowledge.
This e-book is for kids or adults who are absolute beginners in music. I tried to write it as simply as possible. I use an “easy-to-play” visual aid so any beginner can play music quickly. Neither kids nor their parents have to read sheet music or have a musical background. No previous knowledge is necessary.
This e-book includes complete melodies as well as substantial segments of uncomplicated, famous traditional folk songs from 30 different countries. My goal was to assist you in acquainting you, your kids, or students with the musical traditions of diverse nations and cultures.
Every song has a large and simple, letter-coded visual, along with traditional sheet music. The instruction is designed so that children begin with simple circles and gradually advance to reading notes using sheet music. I try to make this transition as easy as a game, where children advance to higher levels themselves.
There is a total of 22 songs and 2 options to help children to begin to play right away.
PLAYING BY LETTER CIRCLE
PLAY WITH THE MUSICAL STAFF
The player can first follow the circles and then repeat with the classic note symbols and staff. The helpful letters are always above the notes.
There are 3 parts in this e-book. They are equal to 3 levels.
Level 1
Songs that are played in one octave. All songs here appear twice: once written with circles and the next time with classic music notes. This will help kids remember the staff notes.
Level 2
In this part, you will find one version with both circles and notes and a more advanced version of the song with notes and musical notation.
Generally, the version of the song written with sheet music is a little bit more complex than a letter-coded version. Such versions already have music notations such as rests or beams, etc. You can find an illustrated explanation of the notation at the end of this e-book.
Level 3
Here, the first two songs are versions of the same melody (different combinations of notes) written with circles and notes. This is important so that the beginner can see how the same melody can be played in different keys.
First of all, this e-book is addressed to newcomers to any keyboard instrument (such as Piano or Synthesizer). I offer 22 one-hand piano songs. Also, it is a perfect self-training guide for children and beginner adults to master the challenges of percussion instruments such as xylophone, glockenspiel, melodica, or recorder.
Additionally, you find funny riddles with engaging activities to teach musical notes and symbols.

This e-book is for kids or adults who are absolute beginners in music. I tried to write it as simply as possible. That is why I use an “easy-to-play” visual aid so any beginner can play music quickly.
Neither kids nor their parents have to read sheet music or have a musical background. No previous knowledge is necessary. None at all.
Every song has a large and simple, color and letter-coded visual, along with traditional sheet music. The instruction is designed so that children begin with simple circles and gradually advance to reading notes using sheet music. I try to make this transition as easy as a game, where children advance to higher levels themselves.
There is a total of 22 songs and 3 options to help children to begin to play right away.
PLAYING BY COLOR CIRCLE
PLAY BY LETTER
PLAY WITH THE MUSICAL STAFF
The player can first follow the circles and then repeat with the classic note symbols and staff. The helpful letters are always above the notes.
There are 3 parts to this e-book. They are equal to 3 levels.
Level 1
Songs that are played in one octave. All songs here appear twice: once written with circles and the next time with classic music notes. This will help kids remember the staff notes.
For example:
Mary Had a Little Lamb - Ver 1 - Circles
Mary Had a Little Lamb - Ver 1 - Notes
Level 2
In this part, you will find one version with both circles and notes and a more advanced version of the song with notes and musical notation.
For example:
Hot Cross Buns - Ver 1 - CIRCLES
Hot Cross Buns - Ver 1 - NOTES
Hot Cross Buns - Ver 2 - NOTES (Here the player will play songs in a different key and learn to transpose.)
Generally, the version of the song written with sheet music is a little bit more complex than a letter-coded version. Such versions already have music notations such as rests or beams, etc. You can find an illustrated explanation of the notation at the end of this e-book.
Level 3
Here, the first two songs are versions of the same melody (different combinations of notes) written with circles and notes. This is important so that the beginner can see how the same melody can be played in different keys.
First of all, this e-book is addressed to newcomers to any keyboard instrument (such as Piano or Synthesizer). I offer 22 one-hand piano songs.
Also, it is a perfect self-training guide for children and beginner adults to mastering the challenges of percussion instruments such as kalimba, marimba, xylophone, glockenspiel, or even color bell set.

You have a great opportunity to jump right into the music. Music bells create an amazing sound and there is no need to worry about being in tune or finger position. musicalIt’s a great instrument for beginners of any age.
The unique advantage of bell sets is the fact that each note is created by an individual bell, so the notes that are not used in a particular song can be removed and the student has a greater chance for success. A handbell orchestra acts as one instrument, with each musician responsible for their particular notes, sounding their assigned bells whenever those notes appear in the music.
Give each participant one or two bells and ask them to join in a simple melody.
Independently, whether the player has musical knowledge or not, the band will sound harmoniously with just a little bit of training.
If you are a beginner, playing by note can be difficult. It is easier to follow color-coded circles with letters. Just by following the color circles, you will sound like an experienced musician.
All songs were written with circles in the musical staff, and there are no stems or flags - only notes on the line - to keep it simple. This e-book was written with beginners in mind.
My color chromatic scale corresponds to the chakra system. Each chakra is said to vibrate at a different frequency and is associated with a particular color and particular musical note. However, if your model is a little bit different, for example, C and C8 both are red, this e-book will also work for you. This sheet music is suitable for desk bells and for handbells.

This e-book aims to help beginners play the trumpet. The e-book includes 31 trumpet diagrams with fingering positions, along with pitch names and staff notations. Each note here has its own page in the e-book.
The musical notes in this e-book cover almost 3 octaves from A#4 to C6.
The sounds produced by the trumpet are a part of many forms of music, from jazz to classical.
While modern trumpets have three piston or rotary valves, early trumpets had none. The purpose of the valves is to lengthen the tubing when engaged, allowing a lower pitch.
By adding lengths of tubing to the trumpet, each valve performs a different function. The first valve lowers the pitch by two semitones, while the second and third lower it by a semitone and three semitones, respectively. When up, the trumpet valve allows air to pass straight through, but when pressed, a section of tubing is opened. In order to take full advantage of the sounds that can be produced, the valves play a key role.
This is an easy letter-coded sheet melody you can play on your Kalimba - even if you don’t know how to play music!
The Kalimba, also known as a thumb piano, is a unique musical instrument originating from Africa. It consists of metal tines of varying lengths attached to a resonating wooden platform, which are plucked to create melodic tones. Its enchanting sound and portability make the Kalimba a popular choice for both beginners and experienced musicians.
You’ll quickly begin to play Au Clair de la Lune with letter-coded or color-coded circles.

Its enchanting sound and portability make the Kalimba a popular choice for both beginners and experienced musicians.
Even if the signs are not engraved on the keys, normally, however, each
kalimba has letter-coded stickers included in the set. Usually, they are
not color-coded and since our book doesn’t include stickers, we suggest
making color-coded stickers yourself. This is very easy and you can do it
with very small pieces of colored paper.
This sheet will help you begin to play music simply and easily, with no required knowledge of reading notes.
If you are a beginner, playing by notes can be difficult. But don’t worry, with this color-coded sheet, you will be able to play your Kalimba right away
