Tongue Drum 30 Simple Songs - All Over the World: Play by Number

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.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. The main purpose is relaxation, meditation, and traveling through your inner world.No previous training or skills are necessary to enjoy these fascinating instruments. It is impossible to play them incorrectly. Anyone can play them.This e-book is aimed at those who want to add popular melodies to their experimentation.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 e-book are possible to play in one octave.Each tongue drum is very different and it is impossible to accommodate songs for all kinds of tongue drums in one e-book. The songs which have been collected in this e-book can be played on most drum models. If you have less than 1 octave of keys on your drum, you may need to skip some songs. However, if your drum has many sharp notes, you will need a e-book that contains chromatic songs. Here, I have collected only simplified diatonic melodies.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.Contents1. Introduction2. A Ram Sam Sam - Moroccan Folk Song3. Ahrirang - Korean Song4.
