This e-book consists of 2 parts:
The first includes the most essential mantras for your yoga practice.
The second part includes the most sacred chants from different traditions: Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, Jain, Christian, and Islamic.
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, and Kundalini Yoga. I also included several Buddhist mantras which are usually used at the end of a yoga session when Metta meditation is done. The handpan because of its unusual sound might be a great tool in your spiritual practice and experience.
These mantras were adapted here for Tongue Drum and Handpan and they are possible to play on most drum models. Songs have been transposed for a steel drum sound range. Some melodies have been changed and simplified.
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. The main purpose is relaxation, meditation, and traveling through your inner world.
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 before beginning to play.
Which tongue drum are these songs suitable for?
Each tongue drum is very different, and it is impossible to accommodate songs for all kinds of tongue drums in one e-book.
This e-book is suitable for most models of handpan, but if you have a tongue drum, it should have a minimum of 10 keys, because many songs in this e-book involve more than one-octave notes. 18 melodies from this e-book are suitable for a 1-octave tongue drum. Others melodies require a 10+ key tongue drum or a handpan.

I have always wanted to create a coloring book for toddlers that doesn’t overwhelm and frustrate children. I tested, observed, and did research.
Our main conclusions are below, and the primary result of this research is a series of coloring books that encourage toddlers.
According to our research, most modern coloring books do not inspire kids to color.
What kind of coloring book might be encouraging and inspiring for small children?
It should be a coloring book that:
… can easily be completed, having just 10-15 pictures, and a maximum of 20-25 pages. Large “comprehensive” coloring books (100+ pictures and 30+ pages) produce a sense of overload: the first thought of your kid will be: “I will never complete this”. The child hastily doodles on each page in an attempt to complete the massive book.
… has images that are understandable and familiar (objects known from movies, books, and everyday life) and has colored pictures or pages (does not look like a black and white textbook or a newspaper for adults).
… contains rather big, simple, and less detailed pictures with softer shapes. No sharp angles, no bottlenecks.
… has a simple, not distracting, and colored background. Coloring the whole page can be a very complicated task for small hands. Having a limited space for coloring will encourage children and help them focus on the picture. The will inspire them to continue. I have heard the argument that this type of coloring book might teach a child to color in their textbooks. However, I have never seen this problem. Part of growing up is learning to discern where and where they cannot play. In fact, all good preschool learning books have space for coloring.
… has clearly defined bold outlines. My children always preferred pictures with very bold outlines (up to 2-3 mm). For kids of such a young age, it is a problem to color within the lines because of still-developing fine motor skills.
The bold outlines will help kids stay within the lines, and even if they don’t, it will not be very visible. I understand that kids prefer brush-made outlines, which make the picture more friendly and alive.
Each spread of the book has two pictures: A pre-colored image and an outlined image. Each figure is large and welcoming. All details that are necessary for the image, but difficult for toddlers, are pre-colored beforehand (ears, eyes, tails, hoofs, etc.).
Each picture has a completed pre-colored example, but it is not necessary for children to copy it. A child can choose their own colors independently.

The sheet music e-book consists of 2 sections:
The first, with 20 color-coded kids songs written especially for such a xylophone (pictured on the e-book cover).
This e-book was written to help beginners, whether children or adults, learn to play music in a simple and easy way that requires no knowledge of reading music.
Just by following the circles with letters, 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.
This sheet music of funny kids songs was written especially for this xylophone.
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 learning sheet music will be most useful for the instrument with the color scheme below:
C = red, D = orange, E = yellow, F = green, G = light blue, A = white, B = violet, and C8 = red
List of kids songs:
Hot Cross Buns
Are you sleeping?
Mary had a Little Lamb
The wheels on the Bus
Twinkle. Twinkle Little Star
Old MacDonald had a farm
Do you know the Muffin Man?
London Bridge is Falling Down
Jingle Bells

Brahm’s Lullaby
Ode to Joy

Le Cucaracha
Oh! Susannah
Beethoven – For Elise

Yankee Doodle
Row, row, row your Boat
Jolly Old Saint Nicholas.
There are simple popular songs: kids learning (ABC), sleeping, Christian, church, animals.
The second part of the book has the “Three Little Pigs” fairy tale with a musical score.
I offer a lot of activities that can be done with any percussion instrument or any sound made with home utensils, for example, while listening to the story.
This fairy tale encourages a child’s musical activity, even if they have never played music before.
German composer Orff believed that each child should not be a passive listener, but an active co-creator.
Not only can you and your kids play using a percussion instrument musical set, but also with any other musical sounds you can come up with.
I hope you’ll enjoy these funny kids’ songs and percussion music actions and activities.
This sheet music e-book was written to help the beginner, whether child or adult, learn to play music in a simple and easy way that requires no knowledge of reading music.

All popular kids’ songs I’ve adapted for a one-octave instrument. That is why most songs are simplified.

There are simple popular songs: kids learning (ABC), sleeping, Christian, church, animals.
This sheet music book will be most useful for the bell set which matches the notes’ colors of the bells in the picture.
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.

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.

This illustrated book contains a collection of classic ancient tales, presented in a bilingual edition, that is perfect for those learning Spanish or English. With 137 stories and parallel translations, it provides students at any level with a chance to expand their vocabulary without needing to refer to a dictionary all the time. With this format, each Spanish sentence is accompanied by its English translation on the same page, making it easy to compare and understand.
Learning with parallel text
The parallel text encourages ‘noticing’ - the presence of the target language and the first language version on the same page facilitates ‘noticing’ grammar and vocabulary structures in an authentic linguistic context.
Students learn vocabulary in context, the parallel text presents new lexical items without the teacher’s direct involvement.
This can effectively encourage reading for less confident individuals, the translation support lessens the anxiety levels of such learners and provides a solid and effective mechanism for learning a second language.
Learning with fables
The enduring nature of fables is enthralling, and the morals they impart can be extremely relevant in today’s world.
Fables are stories that teach important lessons about life. They can teach us how to be brave when things are hard, how to work well with others, how to accept people for who they are, and how to make good choices.
By reading these fables, you’ll not only become familiar with common language expressions, but you’ll also gain valuable worldly wisdom.
137 short stories
The most popular version of Aesop’s Fables was published in 1919 and is housed in the Library of Congress. Most English-speaking readers know this variation of the fables. In this book, the fables have been updated with modern language, making them shorter and easier to understand for today’s readers. Likewise, the Spanish versions have been modernized. In addition to modernizing the language, some stories have been eliminated or updated to reflect our modern world.
The stories in this collection are brief and can be read quickly – each fable only spans one or two pages that can be completed in a single sitting. While we believe that anyone can benefit from reading these stories, having a basic understanding of Spanish is recommended in order to fully appreciate the value of the message in both languages.
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.

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.
I added a QR code to all songs. You can follow the link and listen to the rhythm and the melody before beginning to play.

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

Music is an integral part in the life of the Native Americans, playing a key role in ceremonies, recreational activities, self-expression, and healing. Many different instruments are used in Native American music, including drums, flutes, and other percussion instruments.
This e-book is suitable for most models of handpan, but if you have a tongue drum, it should have a minimum of 10 keys, because many songs in this e-book involve more than one-octave notes.
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, yoga, or chakra drum) are percussion musical instruments designed to help you focus on your feelings, sensations, and body.
In musical science, a unique Native American style of singing can be distinguished. It is characterized by rhythmic breathing, a tense voice, and syllabic sounds being more important than lyrics. These technical features helped the shaman achieve a trance state. Although the tongue drum is a modern musical instrument, is perfectly suitable for any tribal song.
Attention: Songs have been transposed for a DIATONIC range. Some melodies might be changed and simplified. If your drum has flat keys, it is recommended that you use the classic sheet music for the piano.
I wrote the note numbers above the notes because my sheet music is aimed at absolute beginners. Just follow numbers and enjoy.
Here you can find traditional songs, handed down from generation to generation: ceremonial (such as corn grinding or moccasin game songs) or healing songs.
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.
Here, I have collected only simplified diatonic melodies.

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.

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.

Flutes are a part of the Native American tradition.
Original instruments have from zero to 7 finger holes, and each flute master designs their own instrument in order to find their own unique sound.
Flutes, along with percussion instruments, were used for ceremonial and healing purposes.
These songs were adapted here for Recorder musical instrument.
Songs for American tribes are traditionally a method of communicating with their ancestors and supernatural powers. Music is used to help grow a harvest, bring rain, bring victory in battle or cure the sick.
Music is seldom performed for its own sake and as a rule, the tribes tried to repeat sounds which were heard in nature (whispering winds, rain sounds, etc). That is why the rhythm prevailed and words were not so important. Some songs such as ceremonial or medicinal ones often were inspired by dreams. Here you can find traditional songs, handed down from generation to generation.
I wrote the note numbers above the notes because our sheet music is aimed at absolute beginners. Just follow numbers and enjoy.
Also, I added a QR code to each song. Follow the link and find this song on YouTube, so that you can listen to the rhythm before beginning to play.
For which recorders are these songs suitable?
These traditional American folk songs can possibly be played on a Soprano recorder, and several songs can be played on an Alto model.

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.

This e-book includes complete melodies as well as substantial segments of uncomplicated, famous traditional folk songs from different countries. Their goal was to assist you in acquainting your students with the musical traditions of diverse nations and cultures.
Through music, we are brought together and we can gain a better understanding of people from all corners of the Earth.
I call this series “I Don’t Read Music” since I are targeting beginners of all ages: children, teens, parents, and grandparents.
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.
This e-book includes 53 popular, rhythmic, and easy-to-play folk songs and melodies from all over the world. Since this e-book is aimed at the absolute beginner without any knowledge of reading music, I do not use the classical music staff and do not show the note duration. Each song here is written without classic musical notation but only with circles and numbered notes inside. First of all, I recommend following the QR-code which you will find on each page, listening to the song on YouTube, and then trying to repeat what is heard in the recordings. It will help to understand the rhythm pattern and duration.
Keep in mind that folk music traditionally is not learned from sheet music or notes. Instead, it is learned by repetition and through being passed from generation to generation. I believe in this method of teaching, which is easier and more enjoyable. For learning purposes, all songs have been simplified and adapted especially for 8 key drums.

Mantras use the energy of sacred sound to bring benefit to the human body and psyche. This is done through vibration, content, and repetition, and the purpose is to harmonize the energy of one’s 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 spiritual powers. Most mantras consist of simple words or sounds that evoke a deep resonance.
These mantras were adapted here for Tongue Drum and Handpan and they are possible to play on most drum models. Songs have been transposed for a steel drum sound range. Some melodies might be changed and simplified.
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. The main purpose is relaxation, meditation, and traveling through your inner world.
We write the note numbers above the notes because our sheet music is aimed at absolute beginners. Just follow numbers and enjoy.
Also, we add a QR code to most songs. Follow the link and find this song before beginning to play.
For which tongue drum are these mantras suitable?
Each tongue drum is very different, and it is impossible to accommodate songs for all kinds of tongue drums in one book. This book is suitable for most models of handpan, but if you have a tongue drum, it should have a minimum of 10 keys, because many songs in this book involve more than one-octave notes. 13 melodies from this book are suitable for a 1-octave tongue drum. Others melodies require a 10+ key tongue drum or a handpan.

This sheet music e-book was written to help the beginner, whether child or adult, learn to play music in a simple and easy way that requires no knowledge of reading music.
Just by following the circles with letters, 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 wrote color and letter-coded sheet music for 20 funny kids’ songs.
Attention:
This learning sheet music will be most useful for the xylophones with the color scheme in the picture:
C = red, D = orange, E = yellow, F = green, G = light blue, A = blue, B = violet, C8 = 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.
Even tone-deaf adults can play these songs.
I put the melodies in order from simple to complex.
All kid’s songs were adapted for a one-octave instrument. That is why most songs are simplified.
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.
