Most of the songs in this songbook are easy enough for beginner musicians, even if you are not experienced with musical notation. By simply following numbers, you will begin to play right away.

QR codes have also been added to all songs so that players can follow the link and hear the rhythm before playing. Tongue drums are usually tuned to include one octave. For this reason, most of the songs are written using just the main octave. You will not find songs with flat/sharp notes here because it is not common to see tongue drums with these notes. The tongue drum, which is a great way to help you get in touch with your feelings, emotions, and inner self. This unique instrument is also known as tong drum, gluck-o-phone, Hapi drum, tank drum, mandala, lotus or yoga drum, and the handpan (hank drum, UFO drum, zen drum).

Music is an integral part in the life of the Native Americans, playing a key role in ceremonies, recreational activities, self expression, and healing. Many different instruments are used in Native American music, including drums, flutes, and other percussion instruments. These songs were adapted here for Tongue Drum and Handpan and they are possible to play on most drum models. The steel tongue drum (aka tong drum, tank drum, gluck-o-phone, hapi, or steeldrum) and the handpan (aka hank drum, UFO drum, zen drum, meditation, healing, yoga or chakra drum) are percussion musical instruments designed to help you focus on your feelings, sensations, and body. In musical science, a unique Native American style of singing can be distinguished. It is characterized by rhythmic breathing, a tense voice, and syllabic sounds being more important than lyrics. These technical features helped the shaman achieve a trance state. Although the tongue drum is a modern musical instrument, is perfectly suitable for any tribal songs. Attention: Songs have been transposed for a DIATONIC range. Some melodies might be changed and simplified. If your drum has flat keys, it is recommended that you use classic sheet music for piano. We write the note numbers above the notes because our sheet music is aimed at absolute beginners. Just follow numbers and enjoy. Here you can find traditional songs, handed down from generation to generation: ceremonial (such as corn grinding or moccasin game songs) or healing songs. Also, we add a QR code to most songs.

The African songs here are written using European notation, and we should understand that songs cannot be written as authentically as the music is played in its original form. African music does not implement temporality or major or minor chords. Therefore, the sheet music for African songs here is like a rough draft of the original music. You won't be able to play an African song by the sheet music alone. This is true for jazz and the blues, and it is just as true for African folk music. African music always assumes improvisation, adding variations and syncopation. Its main task is not to be reproduced, but to get everyone involved, since music, by definition, is the expression of emotional states with the help of sounds of a certain frequency and rhythm. This book was written for keyboard, but remember that traditional African music never involved or included a piano or other keyboard instrument.An indication of the country of origin of the song is an approximation because many traditional cultures cross current national borders. The language in which the song is sung is more important, and it can be used in various countries. Most songs have been simplified for beginners and letter names have been added under the musical notes to make it possible for you to confidently begin playing. Since African music assumes improvisation and variation, we recommend using this sheet music only as a guide. The most important thing is to listen and repeat the recordings linked to the QR code.

The xylophone is the most important traditional folk instrument on thecontinent, alongside the drum. Usually, African scales differ from Western ones. The African xylophonesmostly have 5, 6, or 7-note (pentatonic, hexatonic, heptatonic) scales, whileWestern instruments typically have a diatonic scale. Rhythm is the most distinguishing characteristic of African music and it alwaysprevails over the melody. The songs in this book have been adapted and can be played on all models of popular woodenxylophone, metal glockenspiel (metallophone), or resonator blocks. Even asimple kids' xylophone will be adequate to play most of these songs.Some songs here have been simplified for beginners. The same song played on a wooden xylophone and on a metallophone will result in very different sounds. Due totheir clear rhythmic patterns, African songs are an ideal material for any kind of musician.You will find both diatonic and chromatic scores. Some melodies have beenspecially transposed to a diatonic range to allow you to play them on themost popular models of xylophone, which normally do not have flat notes. This book is aimed at those new to music and musical instruments and weput letter notation above the notes to make it possible for you to confidentlybegin playing. Since African music assumes improvisation and variation, we recommendusing this sheet music only as a guide. The most important thing is to listenand repeat the recordings linked to the QR code, so you can listen to therhythm before beginning to play. Contents Amawole. Song from Congo Askari Eee.
