    About this ebook

    This sheet music e-book will help you begin to play music simply and easily, with no required knowledge of reading notes.
    If you are a beginner, playing by notes can be difficult. It is easier to follow letters.

    Traditional Kalimba Tablature are called Tabs. Each tab should match the number of tines on your kalimba. For example, if your kalimba has 8 tines, you need to search for “8-note kalimba tabs.”
    My sheet music is not Tabs and it is not for a specific kalimba, but it is universal and suitable for any 8-17 note kalimbas.
    Follow the letters… and begin to play! Even if you don’t know musical notes, you will confidently be able to play easily using the letter notation!

    This e-book might include only letters and it will be enough to begin to play, but I decided to add classic note symbols to help teach them and show musical notation.

    All songs were adapted especially for the kalimba, which is a diatonic musical instrument and has no flat keys.
    Most songs will be played within one octave.

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

    List of songs adapted for kalimba:
    Part 1
    Skip, Skip, Skip to My Lou
    Humpty Dumpty
    My Hat
    I like to Eat (Apples and Bananas)
    Cobbler, Mend My Shoe
    Lost My Gold Ring
    This Old Man
    Baby Bumble Bee
    The Bear Went Over the Mountain
    Cherry Blossom
    Ring Around the Rosie
    Rain, Rain, Go Away
    A Ram Sam Sam
    Little Jack Horner
    It's Raining
    Au Clair de la Lune
    Debka Hora

    Part 2
    Baa Baa Black Sheep
    Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star
    Alphabet Song
    LanguageEnglish
