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 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.

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.

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.
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.

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
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.

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 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 a combined version of the two Neurotracing Exercise books, converted to black and white for printing.
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.
This e-book includes 12 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.

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.
Welcome to the enchanting world of kalimba music!
Here’s everything you need to begin creating beautiful melodies.
No prior musical experience or ability to read sheet music is necessary to start playing right away. Playing is as simple as following the numbers.
Simple melodies for 8, 10- or 17-key kalimba
This sheet music is designed to be adaptable for any kalimba, whether you have a compact 8-note instrument or a larger 17-note version.
Play right away with numbered notes
Each circle on the sheet corresponds to a specific note number, matching each key on your kalimba.
The duration of the notes is shown by the parentheses following the circles. The more parentheses after the circle, the longer the note’s duration. A whole note has three parentheses, and the durations of other notes are illustrated in the accompanying picture. A dot after the note indicates an additional half-parenthesis duration.
A dot above a note indicates a higher octave, as is common on kalimba keys.
It’s important to note that the circles do not represent semitones, as kalimbas are typically not tuned in semitones.
Every page includes QR codes that link to the appropriate song. While these examples might not feature our simplified melodies, they help in understanding the melodies and rhythm.

This book is designed for absolute beginner musicians who want to start playing popular melodies. All song melodies in this book feature numbers written instead of the traditional music score system, making it accessible for absolute beginners who cannot read sheet music. You can play by number if you’re not familiar with musical notes. Numbers are used because most modern tongue drums have the numbers engraved or painted on their keys.
In tongue drums with numbered musical notation, numbers 1 to 7 represent the keys of the diatonic major scale. Dots above or below the numbers indicate notes from higher or lower octaves, respectively. Your drum can be numbered from 1 to 8, where 8 corresponds to the note C of the next octave. For simplicity, we marked the note C of the next octave as 1 with a dot above it, as this is the convention used by most popular tongue drum models.
It’s important to note that the circles do not represent semi-tones.
Each circle on the sheet corresponds to a specific note number, matching a key on your tongue drum.
The duration of the notes is shown by the parentheses following the circles. The more parentheses after the circle, the longer the note’s duration.
Each tongue drum’s sound scale varies significantly, making it impossible to tailor songs for every model in one book. Therefore, you might need to skip some songs if your drum lacks certain tones required for those pieces.
Every page includes QR codes that link to the appropriate song. While these examples might not feature our simplified melodies, they help in understanding the melodies and rhythm.

I call this series “I don’t read music” since I am targeting beginners of all ages: children, teens, parents, and grandparents.
Folk music traditionally is not learned from sheet music or notes. Instead, it is learned by repetition and being passed from generation to generation. I believe in this method of teaching, which is easier and more enjoyable.
This songbook includes 65 familiar and easy-to-play songs and melodies.
Most songs have been simplified and transposed for one octave.
So the songbook is suitable even for a diatonic 8-note kalimba in C-scale, and 10- or 17-note as well.
Since this e-book is aimed at the absolute beginner without any knowledge of
reading music, I do not use here the classical music staff and do not
show the note duration. You can experiment with the 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.
If you are a beginner, playing by note can be difficult.
It is easier to follow number-coded circles in this songbook. By simply following
the numbers, you will sound like an experienced musician.

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
You’ll quickly begin to play Au Clair de la Lune with letter-coded or color-coded circles.
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.
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 is an easy letter-coded sheet melody you can play on your Kalimba - even if you don’t know how to play music!
