This 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.I call this series "I Don't Read Music" since I are targeting beginners of all ages.This book includes 53 popular, rhythmic, and easy-to-play folk songs and melodies from all over the world. Since this 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. So you can use an 8-tongue drum, but tongue drums are very different. Some may have three C notes and not a single F note. Others have several chromatic notes included.

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.Important! The keys' color of your musical instrument must be the same as the color of the scheme below. The color chromatic scale in this book corresponds to the popular Chroma-Notes® color system.C (Do) - RedD (Re) - OrangeE (Mi) - YellowF (Fa) - Light GreenG (Sol) - AquamarineA (La) - PurpleB (Ti) - Dark PinkC8 (Do) - RedThere are 3 levels in this e-book.Level 1. Play by a color circle. 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 book, you will also find simple puzzles that will make reading notes easier.ContentsLevel 1Hot Cross BunsLondon Bridge is Falling DownThe Wheels on the BusMary Had a Little LambRow, Row, Row your BoatOld MacDonald Had a FarmAre You Sleeping?We Wish You a Merry ChristmasHappy BirthdayTen Little FingersJingle BellsLa CucarachaBrahms LullabyDo You Know the Muffin Man?Ode to JoyLevel 2Ding Dong DiggiDiggiDongAcka BackaMiss Mary MackTwinkle, Twinkle Little StarA Hunting We Will GoThe Mulberry BushOld Mother HubbardHumpty DumptyLevel 3It's RainingAlphabet SongMy HatThis Old ManFive Little DucksBaby Bumble BeeCobbler, Mend My ShoesAppendixMusic SymbolsMusic Note ValuesMatch the Letters to the KeysGuess, What Songs Are They Singing?What Songs These Trains Are Carrying?

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. Important! The key color of your musical instrument should match the chromatic scale in this book. We use here the Boomwhackers color system commonly used by American music teachers. The chroma-note colors are the following: C - red, D - orange, E - yellow, F - light green, G - blue-green (aquamarine), A - blue-violet (magenta), and B - dark pink (violet). Popular in the US, the Chroma-Notes Colored Music System mixes the three primary colors: red, yellow, and blue. Mixing them gives three colors in between (orange, green, and violet), and mixing the 6 colors gives the new color tones. In total, there are 12 colors, which include all 12 notes of the chromatic scale, and one color blends into the next. In Africa, singing always involves dancing, so the emphasis is placed more strongly on rhythms than on melody or harmony. Due to their clear rhythmic patterns, African songs are an ideal material for any kind of musician. Its main task is not to be reproduced, but to get everyone involved, since music, by definition, is the expression of emotional states with the help of sounds of a certain frequency and rhythm. An indication of the country of origin of the song is an approximation because many traditional cultures cross current national borders. The language in which the song is sung is more important, and it can be used in various countries. Most songs have been simplified for beginners. Since African music assumes improvisation and variation, we recommend using this sheet music only as a guide. The most important thing is to listen and repeat the recordings linked to the QR code.

The steel tongue drum and the handpan are percussion musical instrumentsdesigned to help you focus on your feelings, sensations, and body. No previoustraining or skills are necessary to enjoy these fascinating instruments. Playing drums can relieve stress and disappointment. Because most tongue drums include and are tuned to involve the notes of the mainoctave, all songs from this book are possible to play in one octave. If you haveless than one octave of keys on your drum, you may need to skip some songs.If you have more than 8 keys, for example, an 11- or 15-note handpan this book would be a great start to your drum experience. Yet, each tongue drum is very different, and it is impossible to accommodate songsfor all kinds of tongue drums in one music book. This songbook was written to help the absolute beginner, whether child or adult learn to play in a simpleand 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 number-coded circles with note numbers.

This book aims to help beginners play the trumpet. The book includes 31 trumpet diagrams with fingering positions, along with pitch names and staff notations. Each note here has its own page in the book. The musical notes in this 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.

Usually, a guide for kalimba offers the possibility of playing by letter or by number, with letters being more common. The modern kalimba often has engraved numbers and letters representing the name of the notes. The numbered musical notation is a cipher notation system used mostly in Asia, including China. In this book, I recommend playing by letter and/or color. Usually, they are not color-coded and since my book doesn't include stickers, I suggest making color-coded stickers yourself or color the including stickers. This is very easy and you can do it with very small pieces of colored paper. My sheet music is not for a specific kalimba but is universal and suitable for 8-17 note kalimbas. This book includes 35 gospel songs. Many spirituals "sorrow songs" are slow and melancholic and are ideally suitable for kalimba. I made my pictured sheet music as simple as possible, songs have been transposed for a diatonic range. Some melodies might be changed and simplified. You'll quickly begin to play by letter-coded circles.

This 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 book includes 32 trombone diagrams with fingering positions, along with pitch names and staff notations. Each note here has its own page in the book. The musical notes in this 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.

You have a great opportunity to jump right into the music. Music bells create an amazing sound and there is no need to worry about being in tune or finger position. musicalIt'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 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. 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 musical note. However, if your model is a little bit different, for example, C and C8 both are red, this book will also work for you. This sheet music is suitable for desk bells and for handbells.

This book aims to help beginners play the piccolo simply and easily. The book includes 36 piccolo diagrams with fingering positions, along with pitch names and staff notations and 36 illustrations of the fingering location on the piccolo itself. The piccolo is about half the size of a flute, and it sounds one octave higher. It plays the highest notes of the woodwind family. The piccolo also is a transposing instrument, and the piccolo's sheet music is never written at the pitch it actually sounds. Instead, the piccolo sounds one octave higher than its written pitch. The musical notes in this book cover almost 3 octaves from D4 to C7 (written). The resulting sound on the piccolo is from D5 to C8. Here are the primary fingerings (basic charts). Note that the book does not include Trill or Tremolo fingerings. You can print and 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 piccolo itself. Under the piccolo pictures, you will also find the fingering combinations depicted with the names of the keys. 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 and your kids or students. The size of the cut-out is 6.5x10 inches (16x25 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. You can choose the style that is more understandable and comfortable for you.

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.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.

This book includes very simple, popular children's and folk songs.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 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.You don't need classical music training or knowledge of music theory to play them.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.Contents:1. Alphabet Song2. Amazing Grace3. Baa Baa Black Sheep4.

This book consists of 2 sections.The first is with the "3 Little Pigs" fairy tale.This game illustrates how any simple story or fairy tale can be accompanied by musical activity. The Three Little Pigs fairy tale with Musical Score was written using the Orff music approach. Each event in this story is accompanied by musical activity.Orff believed that each child should not be a passive listener, but an active co-creator. You and your kids can play using a percussion instrument musical set, and any other musical sounds you can come up with.The second part has games to be played with a tambourine.These games develop phonetic listening and kids' rhythmic skills, which are required for reading and writing.My tambourine book helps develop both by developing phonetic listening in children.Children will play the tambourine to the beat of the music. Popular kids' songs are written with an image of a tambourine and rhythmic notes at the word where they need to beat.You can accompany the child with a xylophone, piano, voice, etc. This great exercise develops phonetic listening, a sense of rhythm, and the simple playing of a musical instrument.

Enjoy and play the story about the wheels that go round and round, doors that open and shut, a horn that sounds and people who go up and down.This is a perfect popular activity song for early learning. It is great for singing aloud, so it is good for developing fine motor skills using finger-plays.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 movements that will be repeated throughout the activity songs and rhymes. They are very detailed and have visuals for each gesture so it is not necessary to go back each time.This book provides instructions for the hand movements but gives the child the space for their own sense of creativity.Kids can see, step by step and a slow pace, all gestures, 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.Also I offer sheet music for Wheels on the Bus so you can accompany your kids, and play this melody on any kind of instrument including a toy one. It is easy to play for anyone! The melody has been simplified and now everybody will be able to play it without any previous musical knowledge.

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.

The easy-to-play songs and melodies were adapted especially for beginners.The melodies have been transposed to one octave and simplified. Also, the letter-coded notations have been added and complex notations 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 playedmusic before. Additionally, it makes it possible to play on the most primitive instruments, such as a child's xylophone, bell sets, chime bars, and even a kid's piano.Table of ContentsAmazing GraceBabylon's FallingChrist Was Born on Christmas DayElijah RockEvery Time I Feel the SpiritGo, Tell It on the MountainGod Is So GoodGreat Big StarsGreat DayHe's God the Whole World in His HandsHoly, Holy, HolyI've Got Joy JoyI've Got Peace Like a RiverJesus Loves MeJesus Walked This Lonesome ValleyJoy to the World!

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. 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. I try to make this transition as easy as a game, where children advance to higher levels themselves.There are 22 songs and 2 options to help children 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. This will help kids remember the staff 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.Table of contentsLevel 1Mary Had a Little LambOde to JoyThe Wheels on the BusJolly Old Saint NicholasTen Little FingerLondon 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

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.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 book are possible to play in one octave.The songs which have been collected in this book can be played on most drum models. 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.ContentsIntroductionA Ram Sam Sam - Moroccan Folk SongAhrirang - Korean SongAnile, Anile - Indian Tamil SongAu Clair de la Lune - French Folk SongBound for South Australia - Australian Folk SongBim Bum Biddy - American SongChe Che Koolay - Ghanian Folk SonCumpleaños Feliz! - Colombian Song¿Dónde Están las Llaves? - Spanish Folk SongDebka Hora - Hebrew SongEpo I Tai Tai e - New Zealand Maori SongFrère Jacques - French SongGiro Giro Tondo - Italian Folk SongGretel, Pastetel - German SongHotaru Koi - Japanese Folk SongKalinka - Russian Folk SongKanzenzenze - Congolese Folk SongKum Ba Yah -African American SpiritualKum Bachur - Atzel Jewish SongLa Cucaracha - Mexican SongLost My Gold Ring - Jamaican Folk SongMein Hut - German SongPounto to Dakhtilidy - Greek Folk SongSingapura, Oh Singapura - Singaporean SongThe Grand Old Duke of York - English Folk SongTongo - Song from Samoa (Polynesia)Un Petit Cochon - French SongVous Diraije Maman - French SongZhao Peng You (Looking looking for my friend) - Chinese SongZimbole - African Song
