You don't need classical music training or knowledge of music theory to play them. The main purpose is relaxation, meditation, and traveling through your inner world.\n\nPlaying 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 its 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.\n\nNo previous training or skills are necessary to enjoy these fascinating instruments. It is impossible to play them incorrectly. Anyone can play them: those who want to develop a good sense of rhythm and an ear for music, those who are seeking relaxation after a hard day at work, those who have always had an interest in learning how to play a musical instrument, and those who want to introduce something unusual into their lives and explore their inner selves.\n\nAll 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. We collect 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.\n\nWe use circles with numbers because most modern tongue drums have numbers engraved or painted on their keys. We do not show the note duration - we just group the circles closer to each other to show the rhythms. You can experiment with a duration on your own. 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. This 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.\n\nAttention: Songs have been transposed for a DIATONIC range. Some melodies might be changed and simplified.\n\nContents\n\nAlphabet Song\nA Hunting We Will Go\nA Sailor Went to Sea\nAcka Backa\nAre You Sleeping?\nBaa Baa Black Sheep\nBaby Bumble Bee\nBell Horses\nBim Bum Biddy\nBobby Shafto\nBrahms Lullaby\nChumbara\nCobbler, Mend My Shoe\nCock-a-Doodle Doo\nDing Dong DiggiDiggiDong\nDo You Know the Muffin Man?\nDoggie Doggie\nFiddle-Dee-Dee\nFive Little Ducks\nFive Little Monkeys\nFrog in the Meadow\nHappy Birthday\nHot Cross Buns\nHumpty Dumpty\nI Like to Eat Apples and Bananas\nI Love Little Kitty\nIt's Raining\nItsy Bitsy Spider\nJack and Jill\nJingle Bells\nJolly Old Saint Nicholas\nKookaburra\nLa Cucaracha\nLittle Jack Horner\nLondon Bridge\nMary Had a Little Lamb\nMiss Mary Mack\nMy Hat\nNinety-Nine Bottles\nOde to Joy\nOh Susannah\nOh We Can Play on the Big Bass Drum\nOld Bald Eagle\nOld Blue\nOld McDonald\nOld Mother Hubbard\nOne, Two, Three, Four\nRain, Rain, Go Away\nRing Around the Rosie\nRow Row Your Boat\nRub-a-Dub-Dub\nSee-Saw Margery Daw\nTen in the Bed\nThe Bee and the Pup\nThe Big Sheep\nThe Mulberry Bush\nThe Wheels on the Bus\nThis Old Man\nTinga Layo\nTo Market, To Market\nTwinkle, Twinkle Little Star\nWe Wish You a Merry Christmas\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B098GL43J5\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B098GL43J5.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Winter, Helen\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
