Hymns and Spirituals for Those Who Have Never Played Music

You have never played music before or you cannot read sheet music, but you want to play famous and inspiring hymns and spirituals. Don't worry! You will begin to play right away. I made my pictured sheet music as simple as possible. You'll play by letter-coded circles. No musical staff or notes. The easy-to-play songs and melodies were adapted especially for beginners.

The melodies have been transposed to one octave and simplified. Also, the letter-coded notations have been added and complex notations and symbols have been reduced. Such simplification makes it possible for people to play melodies, especially those who can't read music or who have never played
music before. Additionally, it makes it possible to play on the most primitive instruments, such as a child's xylophone, bell sets, chime bars, and even a kid's piano.
