Play Xylophone by Letter: 22 Xylophone Songs for Kids and Adults
Helen Winter
Description
My sheet music is not for a specific xylophone, but it is universal and suitable for most 8-25 note xylophones.This e-book is aimed at those new to music and musical instruments, whether child or adult. It allows for simple and easy learning that requires no previous knowledge of reading music.The letter notation makes it possible for you or your kids to confidently begin playing. My other e-books make it easy to play the xylophone with colored circle/letter notation. This e-book, however, includes classic note symbols so that students can begin to learn the reading of musical notes, including a musical notation showing note length, connection, etc.Most songs in this sheet music e-book can be played within one octave on the xylophone using only 8 notes. Several songs need 1.5 or 2 octaves or a 10-15note xylophone.This percussion instrument develops not only a musical ear, but also gross and fine motor skills, and cognitive skills such as letter recognition, matching, and patterns.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 the piano.List of songs adapted for xylophone: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 2Understand the importance of musical notation. 3 variants of the ancient French melody Ah! vous dirai-je, maman.Baa Baa Black SheepTwinkle, Twinkle, Little StarAlphabet Song
