Get to Know Your Tongue Drum. 62 Simple Songs for Absolute Beginners

All songs in this book have been written without using the classic music score system because it is for absolute beginners who cannot read sheet music. I collected very simple and well-known songs and melodies with easy rhythms. You can begin to play just now using circles that contain either a number, without having to consider note duration, key, or time signatures. These numbers correspond to those on the keys of your tongue drum. So you just need to follow the numbers.

Attention: Songs have been transposed for a DIATONIC range. Some melodies might be changed and simplified.
