About this ebook
Welcome to the enchanting world of kalimba music!
Here’s everything you need to begin creating beautiful melodies.
No prior musical experience or ability to read sheet music is necessary to start playing right away. Playing is as simple as following the numbers.
Simple melodies for 8 - 17-key kalimba
This sheet music is designed to be adaptable for any kalimba, whether you have a compact 8-note instrument or a larger 17-note version.
Play right away with numbered notes
Each circle on the sheet corresponds to a specific note number, matching each key on your kalimba.
The duration of the notes is shown by the parentheses following the circles. The more parentheses after the circle, the longer the note's duration. A whole note has three parentheses, and the durations of other notes are illustrated in the accompanying picture. A dot after the note indicates an additional half-parenthesis duration.
A dot above a note indicates a higher octave, as is common on kalimba keys.
It's important to note that the circles do not represent semitones, as kalimbas are typically not tuned in semitones.
Every page includes QR codes that link to the appropriate song. While these examples might not feature our simplified melodies, they help in understanding the melodies and rhythm.
