Big Color-Coded Kalimba Songbook for Absolute Beginners Ebook Tooltip Ebooks kunnen worden gelezen op uw computer en op daarvoor geschikte e-readers. Play by Color or by Letter

Usually, a guide for kalimba offers the possibility of playing by letter
or by number, with letters being more common. The modern kalimba
often has engraved letters representing the name of the notes. Under
the engraved letter (or above the number), you can find one or two dots.
These dots represent the octave above the center octave. We also
put dots under the letters in the sheet music if they use an octave other
than the main kalimba octave.

In this book, we recommend playing by letter and/or color.
Even if the signs are not engraved on the keys, normally, however, each
kalimba has letter-coded stickers included in the set. Usually, they are
not color-coded and since our book doesn’t include stickers, we suggest
making color-coded stickers yourself. This is very easy and you can do it
with very small pieces of colored paper.

Our sheet music is not for a specific kalimba but is universal and
suitable for 8-17 note kalimbas.

We made our pictured sheet music as simple as possible, songs have been
transposed for a diatonic range. Some melodies might be changed and
simplified. You’ll quickly begin to play by letter-coded circles.

The book has two parts. The first one contents folk songs, the second one
has popular hymns and spirituals.
