You have never played music 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.
This e-book was written to help the absolute beginner 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.
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.
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.

This e-book aims to help beginners play soprano recorder simply and easily. The e-book includes 46 brightly colored pictures with fingering positions for the soprano recorder, with pitch names and staff notations.
The musical notes included are:
C C#/Db D D#/Eb E F F# G G#/Ab A A#/Bb B C D E F F# G
Low B has 2 alternate fingerings, which are the same for both Baroque and German recorders. Low F, Low F#, High F, and High F# have different fingering for Baroque and German recorders. These charts are suitable for both popular styles of a soprano recorder. Cut out the fingering charts and use them as a visual aid for you, your kids or your students.
The size of the cut-out is 6.5x10 inches (16x25 cm). This is an almost life-size recorder fingering chart and each note here receives its own piece of paper. You can post these cut-outs on the wall or use them as you like. One side of the poster shows the connection between the dots and their fingering, and the reverse side depicts the same fingering scheme shown on a pipe with numbered holes. You or your child will choose the style that is more understandable and comfortable.
This e-book 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 color-coded circles with note letters.
Important! The keys’ color of your musical instrument must be the same as the color of the scheme below. The color chromatic scale in this e-book corresponds to the popular Chroma-Notes® color system.
C (Do) - Red
D (Re) - Orange
E (Mi) - Yellow
F (Fa) - Light Green
G (Sol) - Aquamarine
A (La) - Purple
B (Ti) - Dark Pink
C8 (Do) - Red
There are 3 levels in this e-book.
Level 1. Play by a 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).
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 a 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.

This e-book aims to help beginners play the piccolo simply and easily. The e-book includes 36 piccolo diagrams with fingering positions, along with pitch names and staff notations and 36 illustrations of the fingering location on the piccolo itself.
The piccolo is about half the size of a flute, and it sounds one octave higher. It plays the highest notes of the woodwind family.
The piccolo also is a transposing instrument, and the piccolo’s sheet music is never written at the pitch it actually sounds. Instead, the piccolo sounds one octave higher than its written pitch. The musical notes in this e-book cover almost 3 octaves from D4 to C7 (written). The resulting sound on the piccolo is from D5 to C8.
Here are the primary fingerings (basic charts). Note that the e-book does not include Trill or Tremolo fingerings.
You can 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 piece of paper. 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 piccolo itself.
Under the piccolo pictures, you will also find the fingering combinations depicted with the names of the keys. You may choose a style that is more understandable and comfortable for you.
I hope these fingering charts will be a valuable visual aid for you and your kids or students. The size of the cut-out is 6.5x10 inches (16x25 cm).
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. After chanting a mantra over an extended period of time, you will achieve clarity of mind and a higher level of awareness. Also, I added a QR code to all songs. Follow the link and listen to the rhythm before beginning to play.

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. You can follow the link and listen to the rhythm before beginning to play.

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.

The African songs here are written using European notation, and it should be understood that songs cannot be written as authentically as the music is played in its original form.
African music does not implement temporality or major or minor chords. Therefore, the sheet music for African songs here is like a rough draft of the original music. You won’t be able to play an African song by the sheet music alone. This is true for jazz and the blues, and it is just as true for African folk music. African music always assumes improvisation, adding variations and syncopation.
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.
This e-book was written for keyboard, but remember that traditional African music never involved or included a piano or other keyboard instrument.
An indication of the country of origin of the song 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 beginners and letter names have been added under the musical 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.
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.

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.

The kalimba came from Africa, but it is perfectly suitable for any kind of ethnic music. The kalimba has a rather meditative quality since each sound can be observed separately. Mindful observation of playing each note can even induce a trance state in the listener.
Although mantras are not typically played on the kalimba, you can have a unique spiritual experience nonetheless.
If you love yoga, meditation or are interested in Indian culture, playing mantras will evoke a deep resonance in your heart.
Here are 20 Indian mantras 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.

The melodica is a perfect instrument for playing mantric melodies.
If you don’t have a traditional Indian harmonium (or pump organ), the melodica is the most suitable instrument: light, portable, most versatile among small instruments, reliable, and easy to learn. The melodica includes 34-38 keys which make it possible to play rather complex music.
The Melodica is a free-reed instrument whose original sound is closer to a harmonica or an accordion, but mostly to an Indian harmonium. The harmonium arrived in India during the mid-19th century, but it is an important instrument in many genres in India, mostly the spiritual.
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. 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 physical and spiritual powers.
Here you will find the most famous and powerful mantras, mostly in Sanskrit, from different traditions: Hindu, Buddhist, or Sikh.
Most mantras have been simplified for beginners, and letter names have been added under the musical notes to make it possible for you to confidently begin playing. If you love yoga, meditation, or are interested in Indian culture, playing mantras will evoke a deep resonance in your heart.
Mantras can be accompanied by any chromatic instrument, and my easy-to-play sheet music with audio track links will support you in your musical experience, whether it be music playing, individual yoga, or meditation. I am certain that this practice will help you to work through your negative emotions.

30 Songs you can play for your baby immediately on any instrument you may have at home without any musical background.
Hi. Now you are parents. Or grandparents.
The second is much easier but does not free you from the duty of singing lullabies and other funny kids’ songs to your little ones.
Do you feel forced to sing them? It’s not easy, is it? Especially if you’re tone-deaf. Did your schoolmates study violin while you were playing hooky from music class? Now with the kids, you’re stuck and everyone expects you to be a lullaby singer.
Well, I have a solution for you.
If your only singing has been in the shower, let us help you become a real musician. And you can do it with any instrument. Even a toy piano, if it is tuned.
If you are a musician, this e-book is not for you. You can go play your instrument in an orchestra. Kids like simple music.
I offer you a guaranteed time-tested set of cool kids’ songs. These are famous kids’ songs (which you’ll recognize) and also some musical nursery rhymes threw in.
What do you need for your musical success? Equipment for starters.
It could be any key instrument like a piano, melodica, kalimba, marimba, synthesizer, xylophone, glockenspiel, or a color bell set with 8 bells or more.
Drums, tambourines, castanets, and music rattles are also welcome.
The main argument for the idea of not being able to play in a band with your child immediately is I CANNOT READ MUSIC SHEET. Don’t worry! You don’t have to!
I made my pictures large and as simple as possible. You’ll easily play by circles. No musical staff or notes. Your listeners are not very critical and won’t know the difference. Kids are the best listeners in the world.
Important!
You will be able to begin to play right away if the keys of your instrument have letter notations on the keys (like kalimba or xylophone).
For other instruments, you just need to get and apply stickers with letter notations. Just 8 stickers will be enough. Write the notes with a marker - A B C D E F G and C8.
Easy play songs were adapted especially for beginners.
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.

I present the easy-to-play songs in this songbook for beginners.
You, your kids or 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-coded 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

This e-book aims to help beginners play alto recorder simply and easily.
The set includes 48 pictures (21 notes) with fingering positions for the alto recorder, with pitch names and notations.
The musical notes included are:
F G A Bb B C D Eb E F F# G A Bb B C Db D Eb E F
Several notes have alternate fingerings.
You can cut out the pages and use them as a visual aid for you, your kids, or if you are a teacher, for your students. The size of the cut-out is 6.5x10 inches (16.5 x 25.5 cm).
One side of the cut-out shows the connection between the dots and their fingering, and the reverse side depicts the same fingering scheme shown on a flute with numbered holes.
You can choose the style that is more understandable and comfortable for you.
