All 70 songs in this e-book have been written without using the classic music score system, because it is for the absolute beginners who can’t read sheet music. This e-book is aimed at those who want to add popular melodies to their experimentation.

I used circles with numbers because most modern tongue drums have numbers engraved or painted on their keys. I do not show the note duration. You can experiment with a duration on your own.
I recommend finding each of these songs on YouTube and listening to the rhythm before beginning to play.
My sheet music is only a guide. The most important thing is to listen and repeat the recordings.

All songs from this e-book are possible to play in one octave.
These songs are suitable for a diatonic 8-note tongue drum, which should have numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 1 of the next octave.
Please note: if you have a model of the tongue drum with 5 tongues, or if some keys from the octave are missing, you will not be able to play all of the songs in this e-book.

The songbook includes very simple, popular children’s and folk songs, but even well-known children’s songs played on the tong drum will create an unusual magical sound.
