Easy Tongue Drum Sheet Music: 33 Traditional Native American Songs for Tongue Drum and Handpan: Play by Number (Paperback)

Music is an integral part of Native Americans' life, playing a key role in ceremonies, recreational activities, self-expression, and healing. Many different instruments are used in Native American music, including drums, flutes, and other percussion instruments.<br>These songs were adapted here for Tongue Drum and Handpan and they are possible to play on most drum models. <p>The steel tongue drum (aka tong drum, tank drum, gluck-o-phone, hapi, or steeldrum) and the handpan (aka hank drum, UFO drum, zen drum, meditation, healing, yoga or chakra drum) are percussion musical instruments designed to help you focus on your feelings, sensations, and body.<br>In musical science, a unique Native American style of singing can be distinguished. It is characterized by rhythmic breathing, a tense voice, and syllabic sounds being more important than lyrics. These technical features helped the shaman achieve a trance state. Although the tongue drum is a modern musical instrument, is perfectly suitable for any tribal song. </p><p>Attention: Songs have been transposed for a DIATONIC range. Some melodies might be changed and simplified. If your drum has flat keys, it is recommended that you use classic sheet music for the piano.<br>We write the note numbers above the notes because our sheet music is aimed at absolute beginners. Just follow the numbers and enjoy.<br>Here you can find traditional songs, handed down from generation to generation: ceremonial (such as corn grinding or moccasin game songs) or healing songs.<br>Also, we add a QR code to most songs. Follow the link and find this song on YouTube, so that you can listen to the rhythm before beginning to play. </p><p><b>Which tongue drum are these songs suitable for?</b><br>Each tongue drum is very different and it is impossible to accommodate songs for all kinds of tongue drums in one book.<br><b>This book is suitable for most models of handpan, but if you have a tongue drum, it should have a minimum of 10 keys, because many songs in this book involve more than one-octave notes.</b><br>Here, we have collected only simplified diatonic melodies. </p><p><b>ATTENTION</b> If you have incorrect page positioning, <br>page numbers out of order, or pages cut off very close<br>to the symbols or even cutting off symbols, please<br>contact Amazon to reprint the book in an appropriate<br>way.
