All 70 songs in this e-book have been written without using the classic music score system, because it is for the absolute beginners who can’t read sheet music. This e-book is aimed at those who want to add popular melodies to their experimentation. I used circles with numbers because most modern tongue drums have numbers engraved or painted on their keys. I do not show the note duration. You can experiment with a duration on your own. I recommend finding each of these songs on YouTube and listening to the rhythm before beginning to play. My sheet music is only a guide. The most important thing is to listen and repeat the recordings. All songs from this e-book are possible to play in one octave. These songs are suitable for a diatonic 8-note tongue drum, which should have numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 1 of the next octave. Please note: if you have a model of the tongue drum with 5 tongues, or if some keys from the octave are missing, you will not be able to play all of the songs in this e-book. The songbook includes very simple, popular children’s and folk songs, but even well-known children’s songs played on the tong drum will create an unusual magical sound.

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. 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 note color resonator blocks for your child’s first musical experience. There are 2 instruments that are best for beginners and most solfeggio teachers advise that it’s better to begin not with a piano, but with a simpler and more accessible instrument. Important! The color of the bells or resonator blocks 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 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). 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, just 8 notes (one octave). At the end of the book, you will also find simple puzzles that will make reading notes easier.

This book aims to help beginners play the Tenor saxophone. The book includes 42 saxophone diagrams with fingering positions and staff notation and 42 illustrations of the fingering location on the saxophone itself. The musical notes cover almost 4 octaves from A#3 to Eb7. There are: A#/Bb3, B3, C4, C#/Db4, D4, D#/Eb4, E4, F4, F#/Gb4, G4, G#Ab4, A4, A#/Bb4, B4 C5, C#/Db5, D5, D#/Eb5, E5, F5, F#/Gb5, G5, G#Ab5, A5, A#/Bb5, B5, C6, C#/Db6, D6, D#/Eb6, E6, F6, F#/Gb6, G6, G#/Ab6, A6, A#/Bb6, B6, C7, C#/Db7, D7, D#/Eb7 Here are the basic and altissimo fingerings suitable for the tenor saxophone. This book does not include the trill fingerings. Learn trill fingering with our book: “Saxophone Trill Fingering Chart”. You can cut out the charts or use them directly from the booklet. Each note here has its own page in the book. 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 musical instrument. Under the picture of the key, you will also find the fingering combinations depicted with the names of the key. Choose a style that makes it easier for you to learn. If you are a beginner/student or even more advanced, try hanging the individual pages on the wall in front of you. The size of the cut-out is 6.5x10 inches (16x25 cm).

I call this series “I don’t read music” since I am targeting beginners of all ages: children, teens, parents, grandparents. Folk music traditionally is not learned from sheet music or notes. Instead, it is learned by repetition and from being passed from generation to generation. I believe in this method of teaching, which is easier and more enjoyable. This e-book includes 63 familiar and easy-to-play folk songs and melodies. Each song here is written with color circles and letter notes inside. Most songs have been simplified and transposed for one octave. Since this e-book is aimed at the absolute beginner without any knowledge of reading music, I do not use here the classical music staff and do not show the note duration. You can experiment with the duration on your own. If you have very little music experience, playing by note can be difficult. It is easier to follow color-coded circles with note letters. By simply following the color circles, you will sound like an experienced musician. This songbook uses the Chroma-Notes Colored Music System, popular in the US. I recommend finding each of these songs on YouTube and listening to the rhythm before beginning to play. My sheet music is only a guide. The most important thing is to listen and repeat the recordings. Attention: This learning sheet music will be most useful for the musical instruments with the color scheme below: C = red, D = orange, E = yellow, F = green, G = light blue, A = blue, B = violet, C8 =red. 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 songbook includes 65 familiar and easy-to-play songs and melodies. Most songs have been simplified and transposed for one octave.

The unique advantage of bell sets is the fact that each note is created by an individual bell, and 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. 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. 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 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 sheet 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. But don’t worry, with this color-coded sheet, you will be able to play your Kalimba right away

This is an easy letter-coded sheet melody you can play on your Kalimba - even if you don’t know how to play music! The Kalimba, also known as a thumb piano, is a unique musical instrument originating from Africa. It consists of metal tines of varying lengths attached to a resonating wooden platform, which are plucked to create melodic tones. Its enchanting sound and portability make the Kalimba a popular choice for both beginners and experienced musicians.

You’ll quickly begin to play Au Clair de la Lune with letter-coded or color-coded circles. The kalimba, also known as a thumb piano, is a unique musical instrument originating from Africa. It consists of metal tines of varying lengths attached to a resonating wooden platform, which are plucked to create melodic tones. Its enchanting sound and portability make the Kalimba a popular choice for both beginners and experienced musicians. Even if the signs are not engraved on the keys, normally, however, each kalimba has letter-coded stickers included in the set. Usually, they are not color-coded and since our book doesn’t include stickers, we suggest making color-coded stickers yourself. This is very easy and you can do it with very small pieces of colored paper.
