You can play these songs on any tongue drum with 8 or more notes. The melodies contained within this book are simplified specifically for a one-octave diatonic tongue drum.

Each circle on the sheet corresponds to a note number that shows a distinct key on your handpan or tongue drum. Follow the numbers to play the melody. Please note, however, that these circles do not indicate semitones, note duration, or rhythmic patterns.

You can begin playing immediately without prior musical education or the ability to read traditional sheet music.
