30 Easy Play Songs every parent/grandparent can play for kids

If your only singing has been in the shower, let us help you become a real musician. And you can do it with any instrument. Even a toy piano, if it is tuned.

What do you need for your musical success? Equipment for starters.

It could be any key instrument like a piano, melodica, kalimba, marimba, synthesizer, xylophone, glockenspiel, or a color bell set with 8 bells or more.
Drums, tambourines, castanets, and music rattles are also welcome.

The main argument for the idea of not being able to play in a band with your child immediately is I CANNOT READ MUSIC SHEET. Don't worry! You don't have to!

The sheet music book has 2 parts:

Part 1. No musical staff or notes. Simply follow the circles with letters. To show the rhythm, I grouped the circles together. Every song in this section was adapted for the newbie - you - just 8 notes (one octave).

Part 2. Here you'll see traditional musical notes and staff added. But don't worry - the helpful letters are still there.

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.
