About Traditional British Folk Songs for Tongue Drum or Handpan
This book includes very simple, popular children's and folk songs.
I use numbers notation beside the classic music score system because most modern tongue drums have numbers engraved or painted on their keys, and because it is easier to play for absolute beginners who cannot read sheet music.
Also, I added a QR code to all songs. Follow the link and listen to the rhythm before beginning to play.
Most songs from this book are possible to play in one octave because a lot of tongue drums include and are tuned to involve the notes of the main octave.
You don't need classical music training or knowledge of music theory to play them.
Attention: Songs have been transposed for a DIATONIC range. Some melodies might be changed and simplified. If you have flat keys on your instrument, please use the classic music score for piano.
