53 Easy-to-Play World Songs for the 8 Note Tongue Drum

This book includes complete melodies as well as substantial segments of uncomplicated, famous traditional folk songs from different countries. Their goal was to assist you in acquainting your students with the musical traditions of diverse nations and cultures.

I call this series "I Don't Read Music" since I are targeting beginners of all ages.

This book includes 53 popular, rhythmic, and easy-to-play folk songs and melodies from all over the world. Since this book is aimed at the absolute beginner without any knowledge of reading music, I do not use the classical music staff and do not show the note duration. Each song here is written without classic musical notation but only with circles and numbered notes inside.

So you can use an 8-tongue drum, but tongue drums are very different. Some may have three C notes and not a single F note. Others have several chromatic notes included.
