Descripción
I call this series “I don’t read music” since I am targeting beginners of all ages: children, teens, parents, and grandparents.Folk music traditionally is not learned from sheet music or notes. Instead, it is learned by repetition and being passed from generation to generation. I believe in this method of teaching, which is easier and more enjoyable.This songbook includes 65 familiar and easy-to-play songs and melodies.Most songs have been simplified and transposed for one octave.So the songbook is suitable even for a diatonic 8-note kalimba in C-scale, and 10- or 17-note as well.Since this e-book is aimed at the absolute beginner without any knowledge ofreading music, I do not use here the classical music staff and do notshow the note duration. You can experiment with the duration on your own.I recommend finding each of these songs on YouTube and listeningto the rhythm before beginning to play. My sheet music is only a guide.The most important thing is to listen and repeat the recordings.If you are a beginner, playing by note can be difficult.It is easier to follow number-coded circles in this songbook. By simply followingthe numbers, you will sound like an experienced musician.Contents:Alphabet SongA Hunting We Will GoA Sailor Went to SeaAcka BackaAre You Sleeping?Baa Baa Black SheepBaby Bumble BeeBell HorsesBim Bum BiddyBobby ShaftoBrahms LullabyChumbaraCobbler, Mend My ShoeCock-a-Doodle DooCotton Eyed JoeDing Dong DiggiDiggiDongDo You Know the Muffin Man?Doggie DoggieDoctor FosterFiddle-Dee-DeeFive Little DucksFive Little MonkeysFrog in the MeadowGood Night, LadiesHappy BirthdayHot Cross BunsHumpty DumptyI Like to Eat Apples and BananasI Love Little KittyIt's RainingItsy Bitsy SpiderJack and JillJingle BellsJolly Old Saint NicholasKookaburraLa CucarachaLittle Jack HornerLondon BridgeMary Had a Little LambMiss Mary MackMy HatNinety-Nine BottlesOde to JoyOh SusannahOh We Can Play on the Big Bass DrumOld Bald EagleOld BlueOld McDonaldOld Mother HubbardOne, Two, Three, FourRain, Rain, Go AwayRing Around the RosieRow Row Your BoatRub-a-Dub-DubSee-Saw Margery DawTen in the BedThe Bee and the PupThe Big SheepThe Mulberry BushThe Wheels on the BusThis Old ManTinga LayoTo Market, To MarketTwinkle, Twinkle Little StarWe Wish You a Merry Christmas
