Book Synopsis Traditional British Nursery Rhymes and Folk Songs for Tongue Drum Or Handpan by : Helen Winter
Download or read book Traditional British Nursery Rhymes and Folk Songs for Tongue Drum Or Handpan written by Helen Winter. This book was released on 2021-01-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book are the songs which you can play for your kids. Most of these melodies are not from the top 20 popular kids' songs (we wrote another book with these songs "Tongue Drum Songbook for Beginner: Play Simple Kids Songs by Number"), but most of these songs will keep your child listening with great interest. They are simple enough for any beginner musician, even one who has never played an instrument or read sheet music. You can play immediately just by following the numbers. We use numbers notation beside the classic music score system because most modern tongue drums have numbers engraved or painted on their keys, and because it is easier to play for absolute beginners who cannot read sheet music. Also, we added a QR code to all songs. Follow the link and listen to the rhythm before beginning to play. Most songs from this book are possible to play in one octave because a lot of tongue drums include and are tuned to involve the notes of the main octave. The steel tongue drum, also known as tong drum, gluck-o-phone, hapi drum, tank drum, mandala or lotus drum, and the handpan (hank drum, UFO drum, zen drum) are percussion musical instruments designed to help you focus on your feelings, sensations, and body. You don't need classical music training or knowledge of music theory to play them. The main purpose is relaxation, meditation, and traveling through your inner world. This book includes very simple, popular children's and folk songs, but even well-known children's songs played on the drum will create an unusual magical sound. Contents: 1. Alphabet Song 2.
