Playing traditional music
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. Being aware of all this simultaneously demands music experience and advanced skills. Nevertheless, even if you have never studied music, you an begin to play complicated melodies, and also experiment with your tongue drum in a meditative way.
The steel tongue drum
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.
Play by number
We 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.
Classical music notation
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.
Simple songs
However, we simplified the melodies in this step as well, transposing the most songs for one octave, leaving the numbers under the notes.
Easy to play sheet music
We hope that playing these simple melodies will bring you a new relaxation and meditation experience filled with a lot of joy.
Listen and play
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.
Solfege for beginners
Neither kids nor their parents have to read sheet music or have a musical background. No previous knowledge is necessary. None at all.
Read and write music
You can find an illustrated explanation of the notation at the end of this book.
