There are 5 games in this e-book that help your children or students learn and remember musical notes, their location on the staff and on the keyboard. You have to cut and assemble them yourself.
Game #1 - Do-Re-Mi Dominos. Note names and symbols are taught by the correspondence between the notes (Do, Re, Mi, Fa, etc.) and their location on the musical staff.
Game #2 - CDEF Note Game teaches the correspondence between note letter notations (C, D, F, G etc.) and their locations on the musical staff.
Game #3 - Find a Pair Card Game. There are two sets of cards, one with note staff location and the other with note keyboard location. Cards need to be matched appropriately. The correct choice can be confirmed with the note name, which is on the reverse of all cards.
Game #4 - Treble Clef Dominos teaches the correspondence between Treble clef notes and their place on the keyboard.
Game #5 - Bass Clef Dominos teaches the correspondence between Bass clef notes and their place on the keyboard.
Cut out the cards for each game from the e-book, and play individually or in pairs.
Dominos rules: Play this game alone or with others.
Lay out dominoes face down, and shuffle. Each player takes 7 dominoes. Player 1 lays down any domino. Next to it, Player 2 lays a domino which is its counterpart. Make sure the two joined dominoes represent the same musical note. If you do not have a domino to match, pick one from the pile. Whoever plays all dominoes first wins. Game also ends when there are no more possibilities. When playing alone, try to connect all dominoes.
These games are ideal for use at a music school or as a home activity.
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.

In this songbook, we’ve compiled a collection of traditional English-language songs and ballads from various countries, including England, Ireland, Scotland, the USA, and Australia. The book features 77 songs, all of which can be played on any C-major tongue drum with 13 or more keys. Most of the songs can also be played on an 11-key tongue drum.
All melodies are written in traditional musical notation, but this book is beginner-friendly as well. For those unfamiliar with reading sheet music, we’ve added corresponding numbers above each note.
The numbering system in this book uses the common diatonic scale, with numbers ranging from 1 to 7 to represent the notes of each octave.
Each page includes QR codes that link to recordings of the songs. While these recordings may not exactly match the traditional versions notated in this book, they serve as useful guides for understanding the melodies and rhythms.
Playing by Numbers
For tongue drums with numbered musical notation, the numbers 1 to 7 represent the notes of the diatonic major scale.
Dots above or below the numbers indicate notes from a higher or lower octave, respectively.
The songs in this books are adapted for the tongue drums with C-major scale.
The number of notes available to you will depend on the range of your tongue drum.

This e-book aims to help beginners play the Alto saxophone. The e-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. Here are the basic and altissimo fingerings suitable for alto saxophones. This e-book does not include the trill fingerings. Learn trill fingering with my e-book: “Saxophone Trill Fingering Chart”.
You print and cut out the charts to use them as flash cards, or mount them on a wall as posters. Each note here has its own page in the e-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.
