Bilateral coordination, also known as bilateral integration, is the ability to use both sides of the body in a coordinated movement. It includes symmetrical movements, where both sides of the body do the same action simultaneously, reciprocal movements, where movements are rhythmically repeated with one side of the body and then another, and movements that require a leading and supporting hand. Interhemispheric interaction is the coordination of both the right and left hemispheres of the brain. While the right side of the brain manages attention, processing of visual shapes and patterns, emotions, and implied meanings, the left side is responsible for logical functions. A proper balance and efficient exchange between the right and left sides of our brains allows us to perform maximally in our multifunctional world. A lack of proper interhemispheric interaction can result in difficulties in the: writing and speaking & handwriting practice development spatial orientation remembering and recalling information performing tasks that require both hands (putting on clothes for example) speech and motor planning disorders mathematical and counting skills solving spatial problems balance and orientation life activities requiring the use of both hands brain challenges as a dysgraphia tool for kids Many gross and fine motor everyday activities require good bilateral coordination – from dancing and sports to using utensils and drawing. There is a correlation between bilateral motor skills and academic success. The coordination exercises may stimulate thinking and paying attention. The tracing exercises in this album can be used to strengthen neural connections to ensure that both the left and right sides of the brain are appropriately coordinated. These kinesiological exercises are based on three basic principles of strengthening interhemispheric connections: Diversity, when the brain actively develops when we perform unusual activities Simultaneity of action, when both hemispheres participate in the process Working with both hands strengthens neural connections and creates new ones. Healthy interhemispheric connections ensure the proper development of a child’s intellect, memory, attention, speech, imagination, thinking, and perception. These exercises work, regardless of which hand is dominant, to develop a sense of symmetry, reduce anxiety, and speed up correcting language and speech dysfunction. This e-book includes 6 types of exercises. Most of them can be done initially by tracing the finger and then with pencils or markers. It is not necessary to do these exercises consecutively. You can do the exercises randomly, but I recommend repeating each exercise several times. The tracing exercises in this e-book were designed for individuals from age 5 to adults. As you progress through the e-book, the exercises become more difficult, challenging the brain even further and producing even more benefits.

Just by following the circles with letters, you will sound like an experienced musician. Playing music can be effortless and an enjoyable game. There are 3 levels in this e-book: Level 1 and 2 are for beginners and use circles with letter notation, instead of notes. Level 3 has letter notation and traditional musical notes. Level 1. Songs that are possible to play within the main octave. Level 2. Songs that need to be played in an octave other than the main octave, or songs that involve the flat notes. Now you will need to select the proper note/key by ear. Level 3. These songs have been written for one octave with ordinary “adult“ musical notes and symbols. To begin to play right away without any musical knowledge, you just need to obtain and apply the stickers with letter-notation and on each key of your melodica. Most melodicas include these stickers, but you can buy them separately or create your own using common peelable paper stickers. In the sheet music e-book, you will find 28 funny kids songs. There are simple popular songs: kids learning (ABC), sleeping, Christian, church, animals. Songs: Hot Cross Buns Are you sleeping? Mary had a Little Lamb The wheels on the Bus Twinkle.

This illustrated learning e-book (black and white version) will help you begin to play music by letter simply and easily. The recorder songbook includes not only letters but also classic sheet music and it is helpful in developing music literacy. Most of the presented melodies are rather unique. Although my songbook includes basically kids’ songs, you will find several Christian hymns and Christmas carols. This e-book includes complete melodies as well as substantial segments of uncomplicated, famous traditional folk songs. In addition, you can find another e-book for the recorder musical instrument with the most popular songs from around the world “Recorder for Beginners. 50 Easy-to-Play Songs from Over the World”. Attention: Some melodies might be changed and simplified for beginners to be played within one octave.

Are you a beginner who wants to play Christmas songs, hymns, folksongs, and spirituals but have never played music or cannot read sheet music? Don’t worry! With my simple, picture-based sheet music, you can start playing immediately. The songs and melodies have been adapted especially for beginners, using number-coded circles instead of musical staff or notes. The sheet music is suitable for 10-17 note kalimbas and the most modern kalimbas already have engraved numbers and letters representing the name of the notes. The notes become higher as you move away from the center and alternate from right to left. The songs cover two or three octaves and I use dots to indicate different octaves. The standard 17-note kalimba contains 3 octaves: a full 2nd small octave, a 3rd small octave, and 3 notes from the 4th small octave. The 2nd small octave goes from C4 to C5 and is depicted in my sheet music as simple numbers. The notes from the 3rd small octave have numbers with one dot above each number. The three notes C6, D6, and E6 in the 4th octave are indicated by numbers with two dots above them. The numbers and dots will help you to begin to play immediately. Follow the numbers and enjoy the music! Note: Some melodies have been changed and simplified for a diatonic range. Christmas songs are a unique music genre traditionally associated with the celebration of Christmas. They can be divided into several categories, including carols, hymns, and secular songs. Regardless of the specific type, Christmas songs are an important part of the holiday season for many people and are often enjoyed by families and friends as they come together to celebrate the occasion. This e-book includes 43 Christmasand gospel songs: Away in a Manger Christ Was Born on Christmas Day Desk the Halls Go, Tell It on the Mountain Jingle Bells Jolly Old Saint Nicholas Joy to the World!

The most difficult thing about playing Native American songs is their irregular rhythms. It might change several times during a song because rhythm is generally more important than melody. Songs for American tribes are traditionally a method of communicating with their ancestors and supernatural powers. Music is used to help grow a harvest, bring rain, bring victory in battle or cure the sick. Music is seldom performed for its own sake and as a rule, the tribes tried to repeat sounds that were heard in nature (whispering winds, rain sounds, etc). That is why the rhythm prevailed and words were not so important. Some songs such as ceremonial or medicinal ones often were inspired by dreams. Here you can find traditional songs, handed down from generation to generation These traditional American folk songs are possible to play on the piano, Melodica, glockenspiel, xylophone, or synthesizer keyboard, but remember that traditional American music never involved or included a piano or other keyboard instrument. I added a QR code to each song. Follow the link and listen to the rhythm before beginning to play. Table of Contents Ani Couni - Arapaho Song. (Version 1) Ani Couni - Arapaho Song.

Ofrezco la forma más fácil de lograrque leer libros con niños sea un placer, incluso para aquellos niños que escuchan la palabra “leer” a regañadientes. Con el tipo habitual de lectura, un niño es un oyente pasivo, mientras que con “lectura con imagen”, él o ella se convierte en un participante activo. Incluso si los niños ya pueden leer, están felices de leer textos donde algunas de las palabras son reemplazadas por imágenes y lo perciben como un bono o un premio. Es más importante recibir estos bonos para los niños que recién comienzan a leer o para quienes la lectura aún requiere esfuerzo. Un niño pequeño solo puede expresar palabras representadas por imágenes. Esta “lectura” no solo hace que los niños participen plenamente en el proceso, sino que también les enseña a conciliar las palabras de la imagen con otras palabras de la oración. Los niños mayores pueden intentar leer palabras de una lista de vocabulario que aparece antes del texto.Un niño que ha comenzado a leer podrá disfrutar leyendo el texto completo. Si le estás leyendo a tu pequeño, leelentamente. Deja que tu hijo piense en la oración, encuentre la palabra correcta y disfrute el proceso de lectura.

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.

You have never played music or you cannot read sheet music, but you want to play famous and inspiring hymns and spirituals. Don’t worry! You will begin to play right away. This e-book was written to help the absolute beginner 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. The melodies have been transposed to one octave and simplified. Also, the letter-coded notations have been added and complex notations and symbols have been reduced. Such simplification makes it possible for people to play melodies, especially those who can’t read music or who have never played music before. The keys color of your musical instrument must be the same as the color chromatic scale in this e-book which corresponds to the Chromanotes color system. Popular in the US, the Chroma-Notes Colored Music System mixes the three primary colors: red, yellow, and blue. Mixing them gives three colors in between (orange, green, and violet) and mixing the 6 colors gives the new color tones. In total, there are 12 colors, which include all 12 notes of the chromatic scale, and one color blends into the next. The first 3 chroma-note colors are identical to the chakra color (C - red, D - orange, E - yellow). The note F is light green, note G - blue-green, A - blue-violet or magenta, and B - violet. I use here the Boomwhackers color system commonly used by American music teachers. All songs from this e-book are possible to play on an 8-note one-octave instrument. This e-book is aimed at your first musical experience no matter what age you are. There is no wrong time or not enough preparation to take up spiritual pursuits.

This e-book was written to help absolute beginners, whether kids or adults, 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 8-15 note color glockenspiel for your child’s first musical experience. There are 3 levels in this Bell’s e-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). The songs here are very familiar and simple. 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 and has just 8 notes (one octave). At the end of the e-book, you will also find simple puzzles that will make reading notes easier. 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.

This e-book is for adults who are absolute beginners in music. You don’t have to read sheet music or have any kind of musical background. No previous knowledge is necessary. None at all. If you don’t know musical notes well, you can PLAY BY LETTER. There are 7 sections and 43 songs. All songs are adapted for beginners and can be played with just one hand. Some songs in this e-book have several versions, with one of them being more advanced. This will allow you to see how the same melody can be played in different keys. Whatever your age, it is never too late to begin to play the piano (or any keyboard instrument). For middle-aged people, learning a musical instrument can be a great digital detox, and it also can unlock the door to a new interest or forgotten emotions.

The word “mantra” is derived from Sanskrit and simply means a sacred sound. Mantras are used in different traditions, from Hindu to Buddhist, Sikh to Jain. I collected here the most famous and important mantras all over the world. The most well-known mantras originate from the Sanskrit, Pali, and Gurmukhi languages. Here, I also include mantra-like prayers from the Christian and Islamic traditions. This songbook is suitable for any keyboard musical instrument: piano, synthesizer, accordion, melodica, even for percussion instruments such as xylophone or marimba. The sheet music in this volume can be used for either singing/chanting or playing on a musical instrument. After chanting a mantra over an extended period of time, you will achieve clarity of mind and a higher level of awareness. Also, I added a QR code to all songs. Follow the link and listen to the rhythm before beginning to play.

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.

I call this series “Read by Picture” since I am targeting little readers. I offer the easiest way to make reading books with children a pleasure, even for those children who listen to reading reluctantly. With the usual type of reading, a child is a passive listener, while with “reading by picture”, he or she becomes an active participant. Although children may have developed reading skills, they still find joy in reading passages where certain words are substituted with images, viewing it as an additional reward or a special treat. It is more important to receive such bonuses for children who are just starting to read, or for whom reading still requires effort. A small child can only voice words represented by pictures. This “reading” not only makes kids a full participant in the process but also teaches them to reconcile the words of the picture with other words in the sentence. Older children may try to read words from a vocabulary list that appears before the text. A child who has begun to read will be able to enjoy reading the entire text. If you are reading to your little one, please read slowly. Let your child think about the sentence, find the right word, and enjoy the reading process. Some words in this e-book are changed to pictures. Each story has a pictured vocabulary list at the beginning. The e-book includes 3 famous fairy tales: The Wolf and Three Little Pigs, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and the Gingerbread Man. Great e-book for non-English speaking children to learn and remember new words in a fun game-based reading activity.

You have never played music before or you cannot read sheet music, but you want to play famous and inspiring hymns and spirituals. Don’t worry! You will begin to play right away. I made my pictured sheet music as simple as possible. You’ll play by letter-coded circles. No musical staff or notes. The easy-to-play songs and melodies were adapted especially for beginners. The melodies have been transposed to one octave and simplified. Also, the letter-coded notations have been added and complex notations and symbols have been reduced. Such simplification makes it possible for people to play melodies, especially those who can’t read music or who have never played music before. Additionally, it makes it possible to play on the most primitive instruments, such as a child’s xylophone, bell sets, chime bars, and even a kid’s piano. You will be able to begin to play right away if the keys of your instrument have letter notations on the keys. Some percussion instruments already have them. They are printed by suppliers (for example, a simple xylophone or kalimba). For other instruments, you just need to get and apply stickers with letter notations. For most songs, just 8 stickers will be enough. Most songs from this e-book are possible to play on an 8-note instrument, so a one-octave instrument, for example, a 10-key kalimba, 8-key xylophone, small tongue drum, handbells, or even toy piano will be enough. But some songs here involve the neighboring with the main octave notes. For these songs, you will need a 2-3 octave instrument. It might be the kalimba with 17 keys, 15+ key xylophone, melodica, synthesizer, or piano. All of them need to have special note stickers for beginners. These transparent removable stickers are available on Amazon for 88/61/54/49 key instruments and they can really help in your musical experience. I don’t use most musical symbols and notations here: the length of the notes, bars, beams, etc. This e-book is aimed at your first musical experience no matter what age you are. There is no wrong time or not enough preparation to take up spiritual pursuits.

Usually, a guide for kalimba offers the possibility of playing by letter or by number, with letters being more common. The modern kalimba often has engraved letters representing the name of the notes. Under the engraved letter (or above the number), you can find one or two dots. These dots represent the octave above the center octave. I also put dots under the letters in the sheet music if they use an octave other than the main kalimba octave. In this e-book, I recommend playing by letter and/or color. 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 my e-book doesn’t include stickers, I suggest making color-coded stickers yourself. This is very easy and you can do it with very small pieces of colored paper. My sheet music is not for a specific kalimba but is universal and suitable for 8-17 note kalimbas. I made my pictured sheet music as simple as possible, songs have been transposed for a diatonic range. Some melodies might be changed and simplified. You’ll quickly begin to play by letter-coded circles. The e-book has two parts. The first one contents folk songs, the second one has popular hymns and spirituals. Table of contents Part 1.
