This 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 book is just as suitable for the chromatic xylophone as it is for the diatonic.Most songs in this sheet music 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.List of kids songs:1. Hot Cross Buns2. Are you sleeping?3.

This 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.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.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 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. 18 melodies from this book are suitable for a 1-octave tongue drum. Others melodies require a 10+ key tongue drum or a handpan.Table of Contents:Part 1. Yoga MantrasAdi Mantra.

Are you a beginner who wants to play Christmas songs, hymns, folksongs, and spirituals but have never played music or cannot read sheet music?Don't worry!With my simple, picture-based sheet music, you can start playing immediately.The songs and melodies have been adapted especially for beginners, using number-coded circles instead of musical staff or notes.The sheet music is suitable for 10-17 note kalimbas and the most modern kalimbas already have engraved numbers and letters representing the name of the notes. The notes become higher as you move away from the center and alternate from right to left. The songs cover two or three octaves and I use dots to indicate different octaves.Follow the numbers and enjoy the music!Note: Some melodies have been changed and simplified for a diatonic range.This book includes 43 Christmas and gospel songs:Away in a MangerChrist Was Born on Christmas DayDesk the HallsGo, Tell It on the MountainJingle BellsJolly Old Saint NicholasJoy to the World!

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.ContentsAdi Mantra of Kundalini YogaDevi Devi Devi Yagan MohiniGauri Gauri Gange RajeshwariGayatri MantraGreen Tara MantraHara Hara MahadevaHare KrishnaJai Radha Madhav KunjabihariJaya Ho MataKali Durgai Namo NamahLokah Samastah Sukhino BhavantuMaha Mrityunjaya MantraNamo Tassa BhagawatoOm BhagavanOm Namo Bhagavate SivanandayaOm Shakti OmShankara KarunakaraShivananda Namah OmShivaya ParameshwarayaSiri Gayatry Mantra

This 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. Neither kids nor their parents have to read sheet music or have a musical background. No previous knowledge is necessary.Every song has a large and simple, letter-coded visual, along with traditional sheet music. There is a total of 22 songs and 2 options to help children to begin to play right away.PLAYING BY LETTER CIRCLEPLAY WITH THE MUSICAL STAFFThe 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 book. They are equal to 3 levels.Level 1Songs that are played in one octave. All songs here appear twice: once written with circles and the next time with classic music notes. Level 2In 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.Level 3Here, 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.Additionally, you find funny riddles with engaging activities to teach musical notes and symbols.Table of contentsLevel 1Mary Had a Little LambOde to JoyThe Whills on the BusJolly Old Saint NicholasTen Little FingersLondon BridgeDo You Know the Muffin Man?we Wish You a Merry ChristmasThe First NoelBrahms LullabyRow Row Your BoatItsy Bitsy SpiderSilent NightOh SusannahLevel 2Hot Cross BunsAre You Sleeping?Old McDonaldLevel 3Jingle BellsLa CucarachaYankee DoodleHappy BirthdayAmazing GraceMusic Note ValuesMusical Puzzles

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".Music is often associated in Africa with magic. As the African proverb says: "the spirit cannot ascend to heaven without a song".This educational 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!List of 31 African songs for kalimba:1. Achta ta ta ta ta.

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 number-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 number-coded notations have been added and complex notes 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.For tongue drums that have numbered musical notation, numbers 1 to 7 represent the keys of the diatonic major scale. All songs in this book have been written with numbers because most modern tongue drums have numbers engraved or painted on their keys.There are the following hymns and spirituals in this book:Amazing GraceBabylon's FallingBe Still My SoulChrist Was Born on Christmas DayDeck the Halls with Boughs of HollyElijah RockEvery Time I Feel the SpiritGod Is So GoodGreat Big StarsGreat DayHe's Got the Whole World in His HandsHoly, Holy, HolyI've Got Peace Like a RiverJesus Loves MeJingle BellsJolly Old Saint NicholasJoy to the World!

This book aims to help beginners play the clarinet. The book includes 42 clarinet diagrams with fingering positions and staff notations and 42 illustrations of the fingering location on the clarinet itself.The musical notes cover 4 octaves from E3 to A6, including semitones.You can 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 musical instrument.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, your kids, or your students. The size of the cut-out is 6.5x10 inches (16x25 cm).

This 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. Just by following the color circles, you will sound like an experienced musician. Playing music can be as simple and enjoyable as a game.

Each song here is written with color circles and letter notes inside.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 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.Let's jingle and jangle with the animals in the jungle!ContentsLEVEL 1Jingle BellsLondon Bridge is Falling DownThe wheels on the BusMary had a little lambAre you sleeping?We wish you a Merry ChristmasBrahms LullabyHappy BirthdayBeethoven.

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 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.My sheet music is based on a 4-hole ocarina tuned in C Major.ContentsA Mighty Fortress Is Our GodA Tisket, a TasketAloha OeAmazing GraceAura LeeAu Clair de la LuneAway in a MangerBarbara AllenBingoBlue Bells of ScotlandBye Baby BuntingFor EliseGood King WenceslasHappy Birthday to YouHere We Go Round the Mulberry BushHickory Dickory DockHoly, Holy, HolyHome on the RangeHot Cross BunsI'm a Little TeapotItsy Bitsy SpiderJolly Old Saint NicholasKumbayaLavender's BlueLittle Bunny Foo FooLondon BridgeMary Had a Little LambMy Bonnie Lies Over the OceanMy Old Dog TrayNobody Knows the Trouble I've SeenO Little Town of BethlehemOde to JoyOh, My Darling ClementineOld MacDonald Had a FarmPop Goes the WeaselRain, Rain, Go AwayRing Around the RosieRock-a-bye BabyRow Row Row Your BoatSkip To My LouSyahambaTen Little FingersThe Bear Went Over the MountainThe First NoelThe Muffin ManThe Skye Boat SongThe Wheels on the BusThis Old ManThree Blind MiceTwinkle, Twinkle Little StarWe Wish You a Merry ChristmasWhen the Saints Go Marching In99 Bottles of Beer

I call this series "Read by Picture" since I are targeting little readers. I offer the easiest way to make reading books with children a pleasure, even for those children who listen to reading reluctantly. With the usual type of reading, a child is a passive listener, while with "reading by picture", he or she becomes an active participant.Even if children can already read, they are happy to read texts where some of the words are replaced by pictures and perceive it as a bonus or a prize. It is more important to receive such bonuses for children who are just starting to read, or for whom reading still requires effort.A small child can only voice words represented by pictures. This "reading" not only makes kids a full participant in the process but also teaches them to reconcile the words of the picture with other words in the sentence.Older children may try to read words from a vocabulary list that appears before the text. A child who has begun to read will be able to enjoy reading the entire text.If you are reading to your little one, please read slowly. Let your child think about the sentence, find the right word, and enjoy the reading process.Some words in this book are changed to pictures. Each story has a pictured vocabulary list at the beginning. Includes 7 simple stories understandable and relatable for kids.Great book for non-English speaking children to learn and remember new words in a fun game-based reading activity.

All 70 songs in this 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.All songs from this 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 book.Table of contentsPART 1A Hunting We Will GoAcka BackaBell HorsesBobby ShaftoDoggie DoggieFrog in the MeadowHot Cross BunsLondon BridgeLong-legged SailorMary Had a Little LambMiss Mary MackNinety-Nine BottlesOld Bald EagleOne, Two, Three, FourRain, Rain, Go AwayRing Around the RosieRub-a-Dub-DubSee-Saw Margery DawTen in the BedThe Wheels on the BusPART 2Alphabet SongA Sailor Went to SeaAre You Sleeping?Baa Baa Black SheepBaby Bumble BeeCobbler, Mend My ShoeCotton Eyed JoeDing Dong DiggiDiggiDongDo You Know the Muffin Man?Doctor FosterFive Little DucksFive Little MonkeysHappy BirthdayHumpty DumptyI Like to Eat Apples and BananasI Love Little KittyIt's RainingJack and JillJingle BellsLa CucarachaLavender's BlueLittle Jack HornerMichael, Row the Boat AshoreMy HatOh We Can Play on the Big Bass DrumOld BlueOld McDonaldOld Mother HubbardRow Row Your BoatThe BackerThe Bee and the PupThe Mulberry BushThis Old ManTwinkle, Twinkle Little StarWe Wish You a Merry ChristmasPART 3Bim Bum BiddyBrahms LullabyChumbaraCock-a-Doodle DooFiddle-Dee-DeeItsy Bitsy SpiderJolly Old Saint NicholasKookaburraLi'l Liza JaneOde to JoyOh SusannahPeace Like a RiverThe Big SheepTinga LayoTo Market, To Market

This 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. 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.There are 3 levels in this e-book.Level 1.

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 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.I collect 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 the most songs for one octave, 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.ContentsAlphabet SongBobby ShaftoCobbler, Mend My ShoeChumbaraDing Dong DiggiDiggiDongFive Little MonkeysHumpty DumptyI Love Little KittyJack and JillMy HatOld Mother Hub

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.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 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.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.My sheet music is based on a 4-hole ocarina tuned in C Major.ContentsA Tisket, a TasketAu Clair de la LuneBingoBye Baby BuntingHappy Birthday to YouHere We Go Round the Mulberry BushHickory Dickory DockHoly, Holy, HolyHot Cross BunsI'm a Little TeapotItsy Bitsy SpiderLittle Bunny Foo FooLondon BridgeMary Had a Little LambOde to JoyOld MacDonald Had a FarmPop Goes the WeaselRain, Rain, Go AwayRing Around the RosyRock-a-bye BabyRow Row Row Your BoatSkip to My LouTen Little FingersThe Bear Went Over the MountainThe Muffin ManThe Wheels on the BusThis Old ManThree Blind MiceTwinkle, Twinkle Little StarWe Wish You a Merry Christmas

Storytelling and activity songs and rhymes have a long tradition, and at times, they have passed down from generation to generation.My book has more pictures than words in order to methodically introduce each movement and associate it with a spoken word.I use two kinds of pictures:1) pictures that tell a story or plot which can be discussed, and2) pictures showing motions that will be repeated throughout the activity songs and rhymes. They are detailed so it is not necessary to go back each time.In my book, you will find 5 popular activity rhythms with very detailed pictures of each gesture. You and your kids will be able to learn each finger/hand movement step by step, bringing enjoyment to both of you.Contents:- Patty Cake- In a Cabin in the Woods- Five Little Monkeys- This Little Piggy- Here are Grandma's GlassesYou might ask why you should buy e-books with fingerplays when there are so many free videos on YouTube.I believe that parents should define the development and entertainment of their children. Video content is entertainment, not a participatory game. It is created by somebody else, not the child, and grabs the attention of kids against their will. This e-book also provides instruction for the hand movements, but gives the child the space for their own sense of creation. Hand gestures are not done for the child, but by the child.Here is a chance for kids to think, learn, and to try for themselves.Also, the e-book suggests more activities compared with simply repeating from an image on a screen. Kids can see all gestures step to step, try them and feel them. This gives them the chance to see themselves from the outside looking in, modifying when necessary to get it just right. This self-analyzing ability is an extremely important skill for their future lives.

This color illustrated learning book will help you begin to play music by letter simply and easily. The recorder songbook includes not only letters but also classic sheet music and it is helpful in developing music literacy.Most of the presented melodies are rather unique.

I added letter names to the classic musical notes to make it possible for you to confidently begin playing.Also, I added QR codes to all songs so you can follow the link and hear the rhythm before playing.List of Traditional American Folk SongsA-tisket, A-tasketAlice the CamelI Like to Eat (Apples and Bananas)Baby Bumble BeeBill Grogan's GoatCharlie Over the OceanChattanooga Choo ChooChumbaraDing Dong DiggidiggidongFrog in the MeadowGo Get the AxeHeigh Di HoI Fed My HorseJack-o-lanternOld Bell CowOld BlueOld Brass WagonOver the River and Through the WoodsPizza Pizza Daddy-oSkip, Skip, Skip to my LouTen in the BedTen Little FingersThe Bear Went Over the MountainThe Bee and the PupThe Big SheepThe Second Story WindowWhen Sammy Put the Paper on the WallZudio

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.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 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) - whiteList of SongsA Hunting We Will GoA Sailor Went to SeaAmazing GraceBim Bum BiddyBobby ShaftoChumbaraCobbler, Mend My ShoeCock-a-Doodle DooCotton Eyed JoeDing Dong DiggiDiggiDongDoctor FosterFiddle-Dee-DeeFive Little MonkeysHere Comes a Blue BirdHere We Go Looby LooHumpty DumptyI Love Little KittyKookaburraLavender's BlueLi'l Liza JaneLittle Jack HornerLong-legged SailorNinety-Nine BottlesOh SusannahOld BlueOld Mother HubbardOne, Two, Three, FourPat a CakePeace Like a RiverRing Around the RosieRub-a-Dub-DubSee-Saw Margery DawThe Bear Went Over the MountainThe Bee and the PupThe Big SheepThe Mulberry BushTinga LayoTo Market, To MarketWishy Washy WeeYankee Doodle

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.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 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) - whiteList of SongsA la Ronda RondaAcka BackaApple, Apple on the TreeAre You Sleeping?Baby Bumble BeeBell HorsesBounce High, Bounce LowBrahms LullabyBusy Buzzy BeeBye, Baby BuntingDo You Know the Muffin Man?Doggie DoggieFive Little DucksFrog in the MeadowHappy BirthdayHot Cross BunsI Like to Eat Apples and Bananas.It's RainingItsy Bitsy SpiderJack and JillJingle BellsJolly Old Saint NicholasLa CucarachaLondon BridgeMary Had a Little LambMichael, Row the Boat AshoreMiss Mary MackMy HatOde to JoyOh We Can Play on the Big Bass DrumOld Bald EagleOld McDonaldRain, Rain, Go AwayRow Row Your BoatTen in the BedTen Little FingersThe BakerThe Closet KeyThe First NoelThe Wheels on the BusThis Old ManTwinkle, Twinkle Little StarWe Wish You a Merry ChristmasWhen the Saints Go Marchin In

I call this series "I don't read music" since I am targeting beginners of all ages: children, teens, parents, grandparents.This book includes 63 familiar and easy-to-play folk songs and melodies. Each song here is written with color circles and letter notes inside. If you have very little music experience, playing by note can be difficult. It is easier to follow color-coded circles with note letters.

I call this series "I don't read music" since I'm targeting beginners of all ages: children, teens, parents, and grandparents.This book includes 58 familiar and easy-to-play folk songs and melodies. Each song here is written with color circles and letter notes inside. All songs have been simplified and transposed for one octave. 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 = blue, B = violet, and C8 = red.Since this 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.ContentsAlphabet SongA Hunting We Will GoA Sailor Went to SeaAcka BackaAre You Sleeping?Baa Baa Black SheepBaby Bumble BeeBell HorsesBim Bum BiddyBobby ShaftoBrahms LullabyChumbaraCobbler, Mend My ShoeCock-a-Doodle DooDing Dong DiggiDiggiDongDo You Know the Muffin Man?Doggie DoggieFiddle-Dee-DeeFive Little DucksFive Little MonkeysFrog in the MeadowHappy BirthdayHot Cross BunsIt's RainingItsy Bitsy SpiderJack and JillJingle BellsJolly Old Saint NicholasKookaburraLa CucarachaLittle Jack HornerLondon BridgeMary Had a Little LambMiss Mary MackMy HatNinety-Nine BottlesOde to JoyOh SusannahOh We Can Play on the Big Bass DrumOld Bald EagleOld BlueOld McDonaldOld Mother HubbardRain, Rain, Go AwayRing Around the RosieRow Row Your BoatRub-a-Dub-DubSee-Saw Margery DawTen in the BedThe Bee and the PupThe Big SheepThe Mulberry BushThe Wheels on the BusThis Old ManTinga LayoTo Market, To MarketTwinkle, Twinkle Little StarWe Wish You a Merry Christmas

This book is aimed at those who want to add popular melodies to their experimentation.All songs in this 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.Contents:IntroductionRub-a-Dub-DubThe Wheels on the BusMiss Mary MackHappy BirthdayDoggie DoggieMary Had a Little LambOh We Can Play on the Big Bass DrumTwinkle, Twinkle Little StarA Hunting We Will GoKookaburraOde to JoyDo You Know the Muffin Man?Old Bald EagleLa CucarachaA Sailor Went to SeaAre You Sleeping?The Mulberry BushOld McDonaldBim Bum BiddyLondon BridgeJingle BellsTinga LayoItsy Bitsy SpiderWe Wish You a Merry ChristmasBrahms LullabyNinety-Nine BottlesJolly Old Saint NicholasOh SusannahRow Row Your BoatAcka BackaHot Cross BunsBell Horses

This 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. No previous knowledge is necessary. None at all.If you don't know musical notes well, you can PLAY BY LETTER.There are 7 sections and 43 songs. All songs are adapted for beginners and can be played with just one hand. Some songs in this book have several versions, with one of them being more advanced. This will allow you to see how the same melody can be played in different keys.Whatever your age, it is never too late to begin to play the piano (or any keyboard instrument). For middle-aged people, learning a musical instrument can be a great digital detox, and it also can unlock the door to a new interest or forgotten emotions.Songs from Around the WorldLost My Gold RingCherry BlossomAu Clair de la LuneGretel, PastetelA Ram Sam SamDebka HoraLa CucarachaOh SusannahTraditional Kids SongsSkip, Skip, Skip to My LouThis Old ManBaby Bumble BeeRain, Rain, Go AwayIt's RainingRow Row Your BoatItsy Bitsy SpiderHappy BirthdayRing Around the RosieChristmas SongsJolly Old Saint NicholasWe Wish You a Merry ChristmasJingle BellsThe First NoelAmazing GraceSilent NightNursery Rhyme SongsLondon BridgeMary Had a Little LambDo You Know the Muffin Man?Humpty DumptyCobbler, Mend My ShoeLittle Jack HornerClassic composer songsBeethovenOde to JoyBrahms.

All songs in this book have been written without using the classic music score system because it is for absolute beginners who cannot read sheet music. I collected very simple and well-known songs and melodies with easy rhythms. You can begin to play just now 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.Attention: Songs have been transposed for a DIATONIC range.

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.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!The sheet music book has 2 parts:Part 1. No musical staff or notes. Simply follow the circles with letters. To show the rhythm, I grouped the circles together. Every song in this section was adapted for the newbie - you - just 8 notes (one octave).Part 2. Here you'll see traditional musical notes and staff added. But don't worry - the helpful letters are still there.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.Songs:1. Hot Cross Buns2. Are you sleeping?3. Mary had a Little Lamb4. The wheels on the Bus5. Twinkle.

Storytelling and activity songs and rhymes have a long tradition, and at times, they have passed down from generation to generation.My book has more pictures than words in order to methodically introduce each movement and associate it with a spoken word.I use two kinds of pictures:1) pictures that tell a story or plot which can be discussed, and2) pictures showing motions that will be repeated throughout the activity songs and rhymes. They are detailed so it is not necessary to go back each time.In my book, you will find 5 popular activity rhythms with very detailed pictures of each gesture. You and your kids will be able to learn each finger/hand movement step by step, bringing enjoyment to both of you.Contents:- I've got Five Fingers in My Pocket- A Sailor Went to Sea, Sea, Sea- Open, Shut Them, Open, Shut Them- One Little FishYou might ask why you should buy e-books with fingerplays when there are so many free videos on YouTube.I believe that parents should define the development and entertainment of their children. Video content is entertainment, not a participatory game. It is created by somebody else, not the child, and grabs the attention of kids against their will. This e-book also provides instruction for the hand movements but gives the child the space for their own sense of creation. Hand gestures are not done for the child, but by the child.Here is a chance for kids to think, learn, and to try for themselves.Also, the e-book suggests more activities compared with simply repeating from an image on a screen. Kids can see all gestures step to step, try them and feel them. This gives them the chance to see themselves from the outside looking in, modifying when necessary to get it just right. This self-analyzing ability is an extremely important skill for their future lives.
