About the Book
International songs are one of the most exciting and appealing avenues to introducing children to new and different cultures through music.
We've gathered 45 different national songs adapted especially for kalimba including lyrics, classic sheet music, number-coded notation, and online audio tracks. This book includes complete melodies as well as substantial segments of uncomplicated, famous traditional folk songs from 30 different countries. Their goal was to assist you in acquainting you, your kids, or students with the musical traditions of diverse nations and cultures.
The songbook is colorfully designed with national patterns. You will enjoy folk music, children's songs, hymns, popular melodies, and dances.
This educational book will help you begin to play music simply and easily. If you are a beginner, playing by notes can be difficult. It is easier to play the finger piano by following numbers.
Our sheet music is universal and suitable for any 8-, 10- or 17- note kalimba or mbira.
Some melodies might have been changed and simplified to be played within one octave. If your thumb piano has flat keys, it is recommended that you use classic sheet music for piano.
Also, we have added a QRcode to all songs. You can follow the link and listen to the rhythm before beginning to play.
In many ways, music is a universal language, crossing borders and opening up a whole new world to our minds.
