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.

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.

The kalimba or mbira is a traditional and typical African instrument. It consists of metal keys attached by a wooden support structure. Normally, the African mbira has 4-20 keys, but there also exist mbiras with 45 keys. One of the ethnic groups of people of Zimbabwe, the Rosvi, are called “Mbira people”. Any folk song presupposes dance, but in Africa, dance is impossible to separate from a song. Music and dance accompany African birth, growing up, initiation, marriage, the birth of children, death, as well as most social activity, such as hunting, planting, and gathering. Music is often associated in Africa with magic. As the African proverb says: “the spirit cannot ascend to heaven without a song”. This educational e-book will help you begin to play music simply and easily. If you are a beginner, playing by notes can be difficult. It is easier to play the finger piano by following numbers. Learn how to play music in a quick and easy way, without knowledge of reading sheet music. My sheet music is universal and suitable for any 8-, 10- or 17- note kalimbas and mbiras. Follow the numbers and begin to play! Some melodies might have been changed and simplified to be played in the diatonic range. If your thumb piano has flat keys, it is recommended that you use the classic sheet music for piano.Also, I added a QR code to all songs.

The kalimba (aka mbira, finger or thumb piano) came from Africa. It is a perfect instrument for playing any kind of ethnic music. Native Americans have never known the thumb piano. The kalimba came from Africa, but it is perfectly suitable for any tribal songs. Here are 28 traditional Native American songs adapted for 10 and 17 key kalimbas. All songs are in easily readable diatonic arrangements with number notation. My aim is to make playing as simple as possible. Even if you don’t have any musical background, you will begin to play very fast. Here you can find traditional songs, handed down from generation to generation: ceremonial (such as corn grinding or moccasin game songs) and a medicinal song. Also, I added a QR code to all songs. Follow the link and find this song on YouTube, so that you can listen to the rhythm before beginning to play. Here, I have collected only simplified diatonic melodies. Contents Ani Couni.

Neither kids nor their parents have to read sheet music or have a musical background. No previous knowledge is necessary. None at all. Every song has a large and simple, color and 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. We 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 3 options to help children to begin to play right away. PLAYING BY COLOR CIRCLE PLAY BY LETTER 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 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. For example: Mary Had a Little Lamb - Ver 1 - CIRCLES Mary Had a Little Lamb - Ver 1 - 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 - Ver 1 - CIRCLES Hot Cross Buns - Ver 1 - NOTES Hot Cross Buns - Ver 2 - NOTES (Here the player will play songs in a different key and learn 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 end of this 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 book is addressed to newcomers to any keyboard instrument (such as Piano or Synthesizer, not only Melodica). Also, it is a perfect self-training guide for children and beginner adults to mastering the challenges of percussion instruments such as kalimba, marimba, xylophone, glockenspiel, or even color bell set.

This sheet music e-book 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. It is easier to follow letters. Traditional Kalimba Tablature are called Tabs. Each tab should match the number of tines on your kalimba. For example, if your kalimba has 8 tines, you need to search for “8-note kalimba tabs.” My sheet music is not Tabs and it is not for a specific kalimba, but it is universal and suitable for any 8-17 note kalimbas. Follow the letters… and begin to play! Even if you don’t know musical notes, you will confidently be able to play easily using the letter notation! This e-book might include only letters and it will be enough to begin to play, but I decided to add classic note symbols to help teach them and show musical notation. All songs were adapted especially for the kalimba, which is a diatonic musical instrument and has no flat keys. Most songs will be played within one octave. Attention: Songs have been transposed for a DIATONIC range. Some melodies might be changed and simplified.

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.

I have created a collection of songs that you can play easily. Most of these melodies are rather unique. These are lesser-known songs that you and your kids will certainly love. If you are interested in more popular songs, see another e-book in my series: “Tongue Drum Songbook for Beginner: Play Simple Kids Songs by Number”. Most of the songs in this songbook are easy enough for beginner musicians, even if you are not experienced with musical notation. By simply following numbers, you will begin to play right away. Because numbers are often engraved on most modern tongue drums, I believe that using numbers in addition to a classic musical score is the best way to get beginners without musical background to play. QR codes have also been added to all songs so that players can follow the link and hear the rhythm before playing. Tongue drums are usually tuned to include one octave. For this reason, most of the songs are written using just the main octave. You will not find songs with flat/sharp notes here because it is not common to see tongue drums with these notes. The tongue drum, which is a great way to help you get in touch with your feelings, emotions, and inner self. This unique instrument is also known as tong drum, gluck-o-phone, Hapi drum, tank drum, mandala, lotus or yoga drum, and the handpan (hank drum, UFO drum, zen drum). Classical music training or knowledge of musical theory is not necessary to play this instrument. You can play the drum to relax, meditate and explore your inner world. This e-book includes very simple, popular folk songs, but even well-known children’s songs played on the drum will create an unusual magical sound. 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 piano.

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 steel tongue drum (aka tong drum, tank drum, gluck-o-phone, hapi drum, mandala or lotus drum) and the handpan (aka hank drum, UFO drum, zen drum) are percussion musical instruments designed to help you focus on your feelings, sensations, and body. You don’t need classical music training or knowledge of music theory to play them. The main purpose is relaxation, meditation, and traveling through your inner world. No previous training or skills are necessary to enjoy these fascinating instruments. It is impossible to play them incorrectly. Anyone can play them: those who want to develop a good sense of rhythm and an ear for music, those who are seeking relaxation after a hard day at work, those who have always had an interest in learning how to play a musical instrument, and those who want to introduce something unusual into their lives and explore their inner selves. This e-book is aimed at those who want to add popular melodies to their experimentation. All songs in this e-book have been written without using the classic music score system, because it is for absolute beginners who cannot read sheet music. I use circles with numbers because most modern tongue drums have numbers engraved or painted on their keys. I do not show the note duration - I just group the circles closer to each other to show the rhythms. You can experiment with duration on your own. Because most tongue drums include and are tuned to involve the notes of the main octave, all songs from this e-book are possible to play in one octave. This e-book includes very simple, popular children’s and folk songs, but even well-known children’s songs played on the drum will create an unusual magical sound. 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 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.

The steel tongue drum and the handpan are percussion musical instruments designed to help you focus on your feelings, sensations, and body. No previous training or skills are necessary to enjoy these fascinating instruments. Playing drums can relieve stress and disappointment. Because most tongue drums include and are tuned to involve the notes of the main octave, all songs from this e-book are possible to play in one octave. If you have less than one octave of keys on your drum, you may need to skip some songs. If you have more than 8 keys, for example, an 11- or 15-note handpan this e-book would be a great start to your drum experience. Yet, each tongue drum is very different, and it is impossible to accommodate songs for all kinds of tongue drums in one music e-book. This songbook 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 number-coded circles with note numbers. In Africa, singing always involves dancing, so the emphasis is placed more firmly on rhythms than on melody or harmony. Due to their clear rhythmic patterns, African songs are an ideal material for any musician. 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. An indication of the country of origin of the song in this tongue drum meditation music e-book 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 adult beginners. 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.

The steel tongue drum (aka tong drum, tank drum, gluck-o-phone, hapi, or steeldrum) and the handpan (aka hank drum, UFO drum, zen drum, meditation, healing, or chakra drum) are percussion musical instruments designed to help you focus on your feelings, sensations, and body. You don’t need classical music training or knowledge of music theory to play them. The main purpose is relaxation, meditation, and traveling through your inner world. This e-book is aimed at those who want to add popular melodies to their experimentation. The Famous African Songs were adapted here for Tongue Drum and Handpan. I believe that African songs, due to their clear rhythmic patterns, are ideal for tongue and hang drums. These songs are possible to play on most drum models. I wrote the note numbers above the notes because my sheet music is aimed at absolute beginners. Just follow numbers and enjoy. Also, I added a QR code to most songs. Follow the link and find this song on YouTube, so that you can listen to the rhythm before beginning to play. For which tongue drum are these songs suitable? Each tongue drum is very different and it is impossible to accommodate songs for all kinds of tongue drums in one e-book. The songs which have been collected in this e-book can be played on most drum models. If you have less than 1 octave of keys on your drum, you may need to skip some songs. However, if your drum has many sharp notes, you will need a e-book that contains chromatic songs. Here, I have collected only simplified diatonic melodies. Contents Achta ta ta ta ta.

My sheet music includes fingering positions, letter-coded notation, and song lyrics for a 6-hole ocarina. Although your ocarina has just 6 holes, this small instrument can produce 10 natural notes, the full range from C to C, plus D and E of the next octave and 7 flat and sharp notes: a total of 17 notes. The fingering positions are shown in the e-book graphically on an image of a standard shaped ocarina with six holes. Each hole on the ocarina is represented by circles. The circles outside of the ocarina image represent the holes on the back side of the instrument. 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 that 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. As for the circles outside of the image, they indicate that your thumbs should be used on the holes underneath the instrument. People always connect musical notes with a specific color. This is called sound-color synesthesia. The most popular system is the chakra system, according to which, the seven notes of the major diatonic scale correspond to seven chakras or energy wheels surrounding the body. I also use this color scale for better visualization. The 6-hole Ocarina can produce a basic scale plus semitone notes, so you can still play more challenging chromatic melodies with it. My sheet music is based on a 6-hole ocarina tuned in C Major. It covers a pitch range from С5 to E6 and is capable of sharps and flats. C major 6-hole ocarina, which is the most popular model on the market. However, you can have E, F, G, B, and B-flat major ocarinas, which have different fingerings. Be careful, you’ve been warned.

There are two volumes of my songbook. I present the easiest songs in the first volume and the slightly more advanced songs in the second. You, your kids, or your students will have the opportunity to jump right into the music immediately. Music bells create an amazing sound and there is no need to worry about being in tune or finger position. It’s a great instrument for beginners of any age. The unique advantage of bell sets is the fact that each note is created by an individual bell, 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. Give each participant one or two bells and ask them to join in a simple melody. Independently, whether the player has musical knowledge or not, the band will sound harmoniously with just a little bit of training. Most solfeggio teachers advise that it’s better to begin not with a piano, but with a simpler and more accessible instrument. However, like other “serious” musical instruments, bells can help in teaching note duration, understanding different pitches, recognizing different musical scales, and the acquisition of a sense of rhythm and melody. 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. Important! My color chromatic scale corresponds to the chakra system. Each chakra is said to vibrate at a different frequency and is associated with a particular color and particular music note. 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 List of Songs A la Ronda Ronda Acka Backa Apple, Apple on the Tree Are You Sleeping?

Playing traditional music notes is difficult for people who have no musical knowledge. You need to know the rhythmic value of each note, its place on the staff, note duration, and its combination with other notes. To be aware of all this simultaneously demands music experience and advanced skills. Nevertheless, even if you have never studied music, you can begin to play complicated melodies, and also experiment with your tongue drum in a meditative way. All songs in this e-book have been written without using the classic music score system because it is for absolute beginners who cannot read sheet music. I collected very simple and well-known songs and melodies with easy rhythms. You can begin to play just now using circles that contain either a number, without having to consider note duration, key, or time signatures. These numbers correspond to those on the keys of your tongue drum. So you just need to follow the numbers. I use circles with numbers because most modern tongue drums have numbers engraved or painted on their keys. I do not show the note duration - I just group the circles closer to each other to show the rhythms. You can experiment with a duration on your own. Because most tongue drums include and are tuned to involve the notes of the main octave, all songs from this e-book are possible to play in one octave. This e-book includes very simple, popular children’s and folk songs, but even well-known children’s songs played on the drum will create an unusual magical sound. Attention: Songs have been transposed for a DIATONIC range. Some melodies might be changed and simplified.
