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.

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

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.
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.

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.

This e-book aims to help beginners play the trumpet. The e-book includes 31 trumpet 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 A#4 to C6.
The sounds produced by the trumpet are a part of many forms of music, from jazz to classical.
While modern trumpets have three piston or rotary valves, early trumpets had none. The purpose of the valves is to lengthen the tubing when engaged, allowing a lower pitch.
By adding lengths of tubing to the trumpet, each valve performs a different function. The first valve lowers the pitch by two semitones, while the second and third lower it by a semitone and three semitones, respectively. When up, the trumpet valve allows air to pass straight through, but when pressed, a section of tubing is opened. In order to take full advantage of the sounds that can be produced, the valves play a key role.
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

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.

How to Read Music
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.

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.

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. 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. This e-book is aimed at those who want to add popular melodies to their experimentation.
The Famous African Songs were adapted here for Tongue Drum and Handpan. I believe that African songs, due to their clear rhythmic patterns, are ideal for tongue and hang drums.
These songs are possible to play on most drum models.
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 on YouTube, so that you can listen to the rhythm before beginning to play.
For which tongue drum are these songs suitable?
Each tongue drum is very different and it is impossible to accommodate songs for all kinds of tongue drums in one e-book.
The songs which have been collected in this e-book can be played on most drum models. If you have less than 1 octave of keys on your drum, you may need to skip some songs. However, if your drum has many sharp notes, you will need a e-book that contains chromatic songs.
Here, I have collected only simplified diatonic melodies.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 aims to help beginners play the saxophone. The e-book includes 33 saxophone diagrams with fingering positions and staff notation and 33 illustrations of the fingering location on the saxophone itself. The musical notes cover almost 3 octaves from A#3 to F#6.
The most popular types of saxophones are alto, tenor, soprano, and baritone. These fingering charts are suitable for all of them.
Here are the primary fingerings (basic charts). This e-book does not include the altissimo and trill fingerings.
You can print and cut out the charts to use them as flash cards or mount them on a wall like posters. Each note here has its own page in the e-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 hope these fingering charts will be a valuable visual aid for you.
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 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.
