I chose the most popular model on the market, where the C and C8 notes are colored in blue. However, if your model is a little bit different, for example C is red, C8 is white or C and C8 both are red, this e-book will also work for you. Besides colored circles corresponding to the key color of your small xylophone, there are note letters inside each circle. Just follow the letter and play.Additionally, I have collected very simple and very popular melodies and songs from all over the world to make your musical journey more interesting. I recommended scanning the QR code on each page and listening to the melody and rhythm before playing. This is the most natural method to learn music. My circles do not show the pitch and duration of notes and rhythmic patterns. Remember, this e-book is for your very first musical instrument. All melodies in this e-book were simplified for a one-octave diatonic xylophone.Table of contentsNorth AmericaAlice the CamelAni Couni ChaouaniAura LeeBim Bum BiddyBuckeye JimJacob's LadderLi'l Liza JaneKum-Ba-YahMichel Row Your BoatOver the RiverPeace Like a RiverLatin AmericaBrinca la TablitaCucarachaDoDo Petit PoPoTingalayoCumpleanos FelizLost my Gold RingLos Pollitos DicenAfricaBanuwaChe Che KoolayDo-Do-Ki-DoFunga AlafiaKanzenzenzeLabe-igi-OromboObwisanaSansa KromaShosholozaWelcome SongEuropeFive Little DucksFive Little MonkeysHush Little BabyOld Mother HubbardThis Old ManSee-Saw Margery DawBuenos DiasDonde estan las LlavesAu Clair de la LunePirouette CacahueteFrere Jacques (Are You Sleeping?)Un Petit CochonVous Diraije Maman (Twinkle Little Star)Giro-Giro-TondoOh Che Bel CastelloMein Hut (My Hat)AsiaKalinkaKum Bachur AtzelAnile, AnileGayatri MantraMaha Mrityundjaya MantraZhao Peng YouHotaru KoiAustralia and OceaniaEpo-i-Tai-Tai-eKangaroo, Skippy Roo
