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 your students with the musical traditions of diverse nations and cultures.I use numbers above the classic notes because most modern tongue drums have numbers engraved or painted on their keys. This is great for the absolute beginner who cannot read sheet music.Because most tongue drums include and are tuned to involve the notes of the main octave, all songs from this book are possible to play in one octave.The songs which have been collected in this book can be played on most drum models. Attention: Songs have been transposed for a DIATONIC range. Some melodies might be changed and simplified. If you have flat keys on your instrument, I recommended you to use the classic sheet music for piano.ContentsIntroductionA Ram Sam Sam - Moroccan Folk SongAhrirang - Korean SongAnile, Anile - Indian Tamil SongAu Clair de la Lune - French Folk SongBound for South Australia - Australian Folk SongBim Bum Biddy - American SongChe Che Koolay - Ghanian Folk SonCumpleaños Feliz! - Colombian Song¿Dónde Están las Llaves? - Spanish Folk SongDebka Hora - Hebrew SongEpo I Tai Tai e - New Zealand Maori SongFrère Jacques - French SongGiro Giro Tondo - Italian Folk SongGretel, Pastetel - German SongHotaru Koi - Japanese Folk SongKalinka - Russian Folk SongKanzenzenze - Congolese Folk SongKum Ba Yah -African American SpiritualKum Bachur - Atzel Jewish SongLa Cucaracha - Mexican SongLost My Gold Ring - Jamaican Folk SongMein Hut - German SongPounto to Dakhtilidy - Greek Folk SongSingapura, Oh Singapura - Singaporean SongThe Grand Old Duke of York - English Folk SongTongo - Song from Samoa (Polynesia)Un Petit Cochon - French SongVous Diraije Maman - French SongZhao Peng You (Looking looking for my friend) - Chinese SongZimbole - African Song
