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. This e-book includes 53 popular, rhythmic, and easy-to-play folk songs and melodies from all over the world. Through music, we are brought together and we can gain a better understanding of people from all corners of the Earth. 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. You do not need to have any musical experience or be able to read music to use this e-book. It is aimed at your or your kid’s first musical experience with a toy musical instrument. Nowadays, toy xylophones are well-tuned and can be used to easily become introduced to the world of music. If you have this specific xylophone (pictured below), you can play all 53 songs. I chose the most popular model on the market, where the C and C8 notes are colored in blue. However, if your model is a little bit different, for example C is red, C8 is white or C and C8 both are red, this e-book will also work for you. Besides colored circles corresponding to the key color of your small xylophone, there are note letters inside each circle. Just follow the letter and play. 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.

Attention: Some melodies might be changed and simplified for beginners to be played within one octave. Letter names have been added to the classic musical notes to make it possible for you to confidently begin playing. Also, QR codes have been added to all songs so you can follow the link and hear the rhythm before playing.

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. No previous knowledge is necessary. 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 are 22 songs and 2 options to help children 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. For example: Hot Cross Buns - Version 1 - CIRCLES Hot Cross Buns - Version 1 - NOTES Hot Cross Buns - Version 2 - NOTES (Here, the player will play songs in a different key and learn how 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 beginning 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 the recorder instrument. Also, it is a perfect self-training guide for children and beginner adults to mastering the challenges of flute or recorder.

I call this series “Read by Picture” since I are 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. Includes 10 simple rhymes understandable and relatable for kids.

Trill is a musical embellishment you can use in songs and melodies. Trill is defined as a fast movement between 2 notes.

These fingerings are identical on all types of saxophone (soprano, alto, tenor, baritone, and bass) unless otherwise noted, and they are designed for the rapid alternation between two notes that are, as mentioned above, a semitone or a whole tone apart. Keys to be trilled are indicated by a red arrow. Please remember that when multiple keys are to be trilled, the keys should be pressed and released simultaneously. But some fingerings have an alternate pressing and releasing of the keys. Please note the notation under the fingerings.
