5 Enchanting French Melodies to Play on a Toy Xylophone

Welcome to xylophone music!

No musical background or sheet music knowledge is necessary to start playing immediately. This sheet music is suitable for any xylophone you have at home, whether it’s a small 8-note toy xylophone or a larger 25-note xylophone designed for adults.

Each circle on the sheet corresponds to a specific note letter, representing each key on your xylophone or glockenspiel. Simply follow the letters to play the notes. If your xylophone features colored keys, you can also match the circles’ colors using a PDF editor or by coloring them with pencils. This allows you to play by either letter or color.

It’s important to note that the circles do not denote semitones, note duration, or rhythmic patterns. The melodies provided here are simplified for a one-octave diatonic xylophone.

Additionally, all pages include QR codes linking to songs. While these examples don’t represent our simplified melodies and aren’t performed on a xylophone, they aid in understanding the melodies and rhythm.
