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 number-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 number-coded notations have been added and complex notes 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.
The steel tongue drum and the handpan 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 primary purpose is relaxation, meditation, and traveling through your inner world.
No previous training or skills are necessary to enjoy these fascinating instruments.
For tongue drums that have numbered musical notation, numbers 1 to 7 represent the keys of the diatonic major scale. For example, a C Major scale would be:
1 =C (do), 2 =D (re), 3 = E (mi), 4= F (fa), 5 = G (sol), 6 = A (la), 7 =B (ti / si), 8 (i) = C (do)
Your drum can be numbered from 1 to 8, where 8 is note C of the next octave. I use the number 1 with a dot above the digit for this note because the most popular models of tongue drums use this enumeration.
All songs in this e-book have been written with numbers because most modern tongue drums have numbers engraved or painted on their keys.
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.
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.
You may need to skip some songs if you have less than one octave of keys on your drum. Each tongue drum is very different and it is impossible to accommodate songs for all kinds of tongue drums in one e-book.
There are the following hymns and spirituals in this e-book:
Most of these melodies are rather unique compared to my other e-book with the most popular and simple kids’ songs “Tongue Drum Songbook for Beginner: Play Simple Kids Songs by Number”), but most of these songs will keep your audience listening with great interest and enjoyment.
They are simple enough for any beginner musician, even one who has never played an instrument or read sheet music. You can play immediately just by following the numbers.
I use numbers notation beside the classic music score system because most modern tongue drums have numbers engraved or painted on their keys, and because it is easier to play for absolute beginners who cannot read sheet music.
Also, I added a QR code to all songs. Follow the link and listen to the rhythm before beginning to play.
Most songs from this e-book are possible to play in one octave because a lot of tongue drums include and are tuned to involve the notes of the main octave.
The steel tongue drums also called the tong drum, tank drum, gluck-o-phone, hapi, yoga drum, lotus, or mandala drum) and the handpan (also called the hank drum, UFO drum, zen drum, meditation, healing, or chakra drum) are quite modern musical percussion instruments. They are primarily used to express feelings, emotions, and other bodily sensations. No classical music training or musical theory study is necessary to play them. The aim is to creatively experiment with sounds in order to meditate, bring about feelings of relaxation, and have the experience of traveling through your inner self.
This e-book provides popular melodies to add to your experimentation.
You don’t need classical music training or knowledge of music theory to play them.
This e-book includes very simple, popular children’s and folk songs.
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.

This e-book was written to help absolute beginners, whether kids or adults, 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 8-15 note color glockenspiel for your child’s first musical experience.
There are 3 levels in this Bell’s e-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). The songs here are very familiar and simple.
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 and has just 8 notes (one octave).
At the end of the e-book, you will also find simple puzzles that will make reading notes easier.
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 was created with the intention of assisting absolute beginners, regardless of whether they are children or adults, in learning to play in a straightforward and uncomplicated manner, without requiring any knowledge of reading sheet music. For beginners, playing by following musical notes can be challenging, while it is comparatively easier to follow number-coded circles with corresponding note numbers.
In the contemporary context, kalimbas typically feature engraved letters and numbers that represent the notes. The dots positioned above the numbers indicate the next octave. The majority of songs in this songbook utilize eight notes and can be played on a 10 or 17-key kalimba.
In African musical traditions, singing is often intertwined with dancing, placing greater emphasis on rhythms rather than melody or harmony. African songs, characterized by their distinct rhythmic patterns, serve as excellent material for musicians of various backgrounds.
The primary purpose of this e-book is not mere reproduction, but to actively engage everyone, as music, by its very definition, involves the expression of emotional states through the use of sounds with specific frequencies and rhythms.
While an indication of a song’s country of origin is provided, it should be understood that many traditional cultures transcend current national borders. The language in which a song is sung holds more significance and can be utilized in multiple countries. Most songs included in this e-book have been simplified to accommodate beginners.
Since African music often involves improvisation and variation, it is recommended to utilize this sheet music as a guide rather than a rigid framework. The most crucial aspect is to actively listen to and replicate the recordings accessible through the provided QR code.

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.
Music brings us together. I can better understand the people from all corners of the world, in all their wonderful diversity.
I’ve gathered 37 different national songs adapted especially for kalimba including lyrics, classic sheet music, number-coded notation, and online audio tracks. The songbook is colorfully designed with national patterns. You will enjoy folk music, children’s songs, hymns, popular melodies, and dances.
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.
My sheet music is not Tabs (specific sheet music for the kalimba) and it is not for a particular kalimba. Rather, it is universal and suitable for any 8-, 10- or 17-note kalimba or mbira.
This kalimba songbook with international songs includes notation, not only in numbers, but also classic sheet music. Some melodies might have been changed and simplified to be played within one octave. If your thumb piano has flat keys, it is recommended that you use the classic sheet music for piano.
Also, I have added a QR code to all songs. You can follow the link and listen to the rhythm before beginning to play.

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.
List of songs adapted for xylophone:
Part 1
Skip, Skip, Skip to My Lou
Humpty Dumpty

I like to Eat (Apples and Bananas)
Cobbler, Mend My Shoe
Lost My Gold Ring

This e-book aims to help beginners play the trombone. Like all brass instruments, the trombone changes pitch when the physical length of the tubing the air passes through changes. The trombone has a special extendable slide that functions as the valves do on other brass instruments. The trombone changes length when the player extends the main slide. When the slide gets longer, the pitch goes lower.
The e-book includes 32 trombone 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 E2 to B4.
The trombone’s slide has seven positions: the 1st position is when the slide is pulled closest to you and 7th is when it is fully extended. However, the slide has no markers indicating these positions. On each page, the slide position in red corresponds to the particular note depicted. When there are two red numbers for the same note, it means that there are two variations for the slide position to create that note.
I hope these fingering charts will be a valuable visual aid for you.
This e-book is for kids or adults who are absolute beginners in music. I tried to write it as simply as possible. That is why 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. 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. 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 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 to 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.
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 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 mastering the challenges of percussion instruments such as kalimba, marimba, xylophone, glockenspiel, or even color bell set.

I collected very simple and well-known songs and melodies with easy rhythms. You can begin to play in just two steps. First, you will play 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.
You can get an idea of how the song might be played by listening to the YouTube clip of the same song, which you can access with the QR code below each song. Then, if you find that you can play the song with more confidence, you can try using the second page of the same song, with the actual notes. There, the same melody is written in a traditional manner with all the necessary musical symbols. However, I simplified the melodies in this step as well, transposing most songs for one octave, and leaving the numbers under the notes. I hope that playing these simple melodies will bring you a new relaxation and meditation experience filled with a lot of joy.
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.
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.

Mantras use the energy of sacred sound to bring benefit to the human body and psyche. Their main purpose is to harmonize the energy of our heart, mind, and body.
This is done through vibration, content, and repetition. The creation of this balance of energy has been used for centuries to access and open the human heart and mind and connect them to spiritual powers.
All mantras collected in this e-book originate from Hinduism. Music has a foundational place in Hindu mythology. It has played a role in the worship of deities and saints, and even in a non-religious context, such as yoga, meditation, and spiritual self-transformation. Also if are interested in Indian culture, playing mantras will evoke a deep resonance in your heart.
This songbook is suitable for any keyboard musical instrument: piano, synthesizer, accordion, melodica, even for percussion instruments such as xylophone or marimba.
This e-book is for adults who are absolute beginners in music. You don’t have to read sheet music or have any kind of musical background.
If you are a beginner, playing by notes can be difficult. It is easier to begin to play by following letters. You just need to get and apply stickers with the note letters on your piano keys.
Also, I added a QR code to all songs. Follow the link and listen to the rhythm before beginning to play.

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.
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.

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.
International songs are one of the most exciting and appealing avenues to introducing children to new and different cultures through music.
I’ve gathered 45 different national songs adapted especially for kalimba including lyrics, classic sheet music, number-coded notation, and online audio tracks.
The songbook is colorfully designed with national patterns. You will enjoy folk music, children’s songs, hymns, popular melodies, and dances.
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.
My sheet music is universal and suitable for any 8-, 10- or 17- note kalimba or mbira.
Some melodies might have been changed and simplified to be played within one octave. If your thumb piano has flat keys, I recommend you to use classic sheet music for piano.
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.

The power of the mantra lies in its ability to bring individuals to a state where they can reflect upon their inner selves. The use of repetitive sacred utterances allows one to access the divine.
Mantras allow individuals to access their inner selves in a very powerful way. Repeating sounds considered sacred allows one to access the divine. The word “mantra” is derived from Sanskrit and simply means a sacred sound.
In yoga practice, mantras play a key role. Typically, practitioners of yoga chant mantras at the beginning and end of a yoga session. Here, I have created a collection of mantras that are used in a variety of yoga traditions: Patanjali, Vinyasa, Kundalini Yoga. I also include several Buddhist mantras which are usually used at the end of a yoga session when Metta meditation is done.
This songbook is suitable for any keyboard musical instrument: piano, synthesizer, accordion, melodica, even for percussion instruments such as xylophone or marimba.
Also, I added a QR code to all songs. Follow the link and listen to the rhythm before beginning to play.

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 is for adults who are absolute beginners in music. You don’t have to read sheet music or have any kind of musical background. No previous knowledge is necessary. None at all.
If you don’t know musical notes well, you can PLAY BY LETTER.
There are 7 sections and 43 songs. All songs are adapted for beginners and can be played with just one hand. Some songs in this e-book have several versions, with one of them being more advanced. This will allow you to see how the same melody can be played in different keys.
Whatever your age, it is never too late to begin to play the piano (or any keyboard instrument). For middle-aged people, learning a musical instrument can be a great digital detox, and it also can unlock the door to a new interest or forgotten emotions.

This book includes complete melodies as well as substantial segments of uncomplicated, famous traditional folk songs from 30 different countries. Their goal was to assist you in acquainting your students with the musical traditions of diverse nations and cultures.
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, 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.
I use numbers above the classic notes because most modern tongue drums have numbers engraved or painted on their keys. This is great for the absolute beginner who cannot read sheet music.
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.
Attention: Songs have been transposed for a DIATONIC range. Some melodies might be changed and simplified. If you have flat keys on your instrument, I recommended you to use the classic sheet music for piano.
