The Easiest Songbook for Kalimba. 65 Songs without Musical Notes: Just Follow the Circles

About this ebook
I call this series “I don’t read music” since I am targeting beginners of all ages: children, teens, parents, and grandparents.
Folk music traditionally is not learned from sheet music or notes. Instead, it is learned by repetition and being passed from generation to generation. I believe in this method of teaching, which is easier and more enjoyable.
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 e-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.
I recommend finding each of these songs on YouTube and listening
to the rhythm before beginning to play. My sheet music is only a guide.
The most important thing is to listen and repeat the recordings.
If you are a beginner, playing by note can be difficult.
It is easier to follow number-coded circles in this songbook. By simply following
the numbers, you will sound like an experienced musician.
