Play up to 100 songs with these tongue drum sheet music books
Thinking about buying a tongue drum? Already own one and want to learn how to play well-known songs? Want to become truly confident on this soothing percussion instrument? Then these sheet music collections are made for you. Each of these two books includes 50 melodies specifically arranged to support your learning on the tongue drum. You’ll progress smoothly while playing beautiful pieces on this harmonious instrument with its calming tone.
Can I play all the songs with my tongue drum?
The 8- and 11-note tongue drum sheet music book includes 25 songs for 8-note tongue drums and 25 more for 11-note models. The same goes for the 13- and 15-note tongue drum book, with 25 songs for 13-note instruments and 25 more for 15-note tongue drums. However, every song can be played perfectly on a tongue drum with more notes than the score requires.
For example, if you have an 11-note tongue drum, you can play all the arrangements written for 11-note models (25 songs), plus all those written for 8-note models, for a total of 50 different melodies. If you have a 15-note tongue drum, you’ll be able to play all 100 songs contained in these two books!
What’s more, a special discount is available when you purchase both books of sheet music at the same time! So treat yourself!
Let this manual guide you as you learn to play the tongue drum
These tongue drum sheet music books include more than just 50 songs. Since beginners aren’t always familiar with music theory, tutorials are included at the beginning to show you how to read sheet music and play this unique instrument. You’ll be guided step by step so you can confidently learn each melody. Finally, all compositions are organized in order of increasing difficulty: the easiest pieces come first, and the hardest ones appear at the end. That way, you can improve in the most effective way.
Improve your steel tongue drum skills with the videos included in these books
For each song in the books, you’ll get a quick note about its origins and, more importantly, a QR code or link to a tutorial video. The video shows you exactly what the score expects, so you always have a clear example to follow for every piece, which makes it much easier to keep progressing. Here is an example of a video included below with the song Pirates of the Caribbean:
Do you recommend a particular model of instrument to go with these books?
The sheet music is designed to be played on tongue drums tuned to C major, D major, and F major. Therefore, we recommend purchasing this 15-note model to play all 100 songs, or this 11-note model to play the 50 melodies in the first book.
If you have a differently tuned model, the songs will still be playable, but you may feel they sound slightly different. However, this book is not suitable for the rare pentatonic tongue drums.
Be sure to enjoy your tongue drum to the fullest and treat yourself to this book of sheet music!
