I call this series "I don't read music" since I am targeting beginners of all ages: children, teens, parents, and grandparents.This songbook includes 65 familiar and easy-to-play songs and melodies.Most songs have been simplified and transposed for one octave.So the songbook is suitable even for a diatonic 8-note kalimba in C-scale, and 10- or 17-note as well.Since this book is aimed at the absolute beginner without any knowledge ofreading music, I do not use here the classical music staff and do notshow the note duration. You can experiment with the duration on your own.If you are a beginner, playing by note can be difficult.It is easier to follow number-coded circles in this songbook. By simply followingthe numbers, you will sound like an experienced musician.Contents:Alphabet 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 DooCotton Eyed JoeDing Dong DiggiDiggiDongDo You Know the Muffin Man?Doggie DoggieDoctor FosterFiddle-Dee-DeeFive Little DucksFive Little MonkeysFrog in the MeadowGood Night, LadiesHappy BirthdayHot Cross BunsHumpty DumptyI Like to Eat Apples and BananasI Love Little KittyIt'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 HubbardOne, Two, Three, FourRain, 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

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 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.All songs were adapted especially for the kalimba, which is a diatonic musical instrument and has no flat keys.Most songs will be played within 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, please use the classic music score for piano.Part 1Skip, Skip, Skip to My LouHumpty DumptyMy HatI like to Eat (Apples and Bananas)Cobbler, Mend My ShoeLost My Gold RingThis Old ManBaby Bumble BeeThe Bear Went Over the MountainCherry BlossomRing Around the RosieRain, Rain, Go AwayA Ram Sam SamLittle Jack HornerIt's RainingAu Clair de la LuneDebka HoraMy BonnieHouse of the Rising SunPart 2Baa Baa Black SheepTwinkle, Twinkle, Little StarAlphabet Song

This 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 CIRCLEPLAY BY LETTERPLAY WITH THE MUSICAL STAFFLevel 1Mary Had a Little LambOde to JoyThe Wheels 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

Wenn die Dinge die wir erlebt haben das sind was uns ausmacht, dann sind unsere Erinnerungen die vergangenen Ichs unserer Seele.Und genau diese kann Nefeli beschützen und hüten, die vergessenen Erinnerungen der Menschen.Doch was macht man mit solch einer Gabe, wenn der einzige Wunsch den man hat ist, wenigstens einmal ausprobieren zu dürfen, wie es ist ein halbwegs normales Leben zu führen?Ein Leben wie das von Elian, bis auf die Tatsache, dass er seine kleine Schwester nach ihrem traumatischen Tod vergessen hat.Etwas das Nefeli verändern könnte.Doch wer darf über fremde Erinnerungen entscheiden?Und wann ist es an der Zeit sich den Dämonen der Vergangenheit zu stellen?Ein spannender Roman über Liebe, Mut und über die Schwierig- aber trotzdem Notwendigkeit etwas Verdrängtes aufzuarbeiten.
