Usually, the kalimba is considered an adult instrument, but with my visual, your kids will easily begin to play as well. The easiest way to begin is to play with the letter notes. 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 circles with note letters. This sheet music e-book is suitable for 8-,10- and 17-note kalimbas. The letter-coded stickers are not included in this e-book. All songs were adapted especially for the kalimba, which is a diatonic musical instrument and has no flat keys. Most funny kids’ songs will be played within the main octave. You can experiment with the neighboring octaves yourself. 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 We wish you a Merry Christmas Brahm’s Lullaby Ode to Joy Happy Birthday Le Cucaracha 15.Oh, Susannah Itsy Bitsy Spider The First Noel Yankee Doodle Row, row, row your Boat Jolly Old Saint Nicholas Amazing Grace There are simple popular songs: kids learning (ABC), sleeping, Christian, church, animals.

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 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.

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!

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.

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 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. I made my sheet music large and as simple as possible. You’ll play cool kids songs by circles. No musical staff or notes. Playing music can be as simple and enjoyable as a game. Some songs were adapted for a one-octave instrument. That is why most songs are simplified. That is my goal to give you what’s necessary to play beautiful music while having fun. This e-book is just as suitable for the chromatic xylophone as it is for the diatonic. 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. The 2 last songs require a chromatic xylophone since they have flat notes. For some melodies, I grouped circles to show the rhythm. Most songs are simple, popular and funny, some songs are Christian, they are perfectly suitable for a church choir or orchestra. Recommended for ages 3 and up. 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

This e-book is for kids or adults who are absolute beginners in music. I tried to write it as simply as possible. I use an “easy-to-play” visual aid so any beginner can play music quickly. No previous knowledge is necessary. Every song has a large and simple 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.

PLAYING BY LETTER CIRCLE PLAY WITH THE MUSICAL STAFF The player can first follow the circles and then repeat with the classic note symbols and staff. The helpful letters are always above the notes. There are 3 parts in this 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. 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 - Version 1 - CIRCLES Hot Cross Buns - Version 1 - NOTES Hot Cross Buns - Version 2 - NOTES (Here, the player will play songs in a different key and learn how 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 beginning 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 the recorder instrument. Also, it is a perfect self-training guide for children and beginner adults to mastering the challenges of flute or recorder.

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

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 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”.

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.

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.
