You have never played music or you cannot read sheet music, but you want to play famous and inspiring hymns and spirituals. Don’t worry! You will begin to play right away. This book was written to help the absolute beginner to play in a simple and easy way that requires no knowledge of reading music. If you are a beginner, playing by note can be difficult. It is easier to follow color-coded circles with note letters. The melodies have been transposed to one octave and simplified. Also, the letter-coded notations have been added and complex notations and symbols have been reduced. Such simplification makes it possible for people to play melodies, especially those who can’t read music or who have never played music before. The keys color of your musical instrument must be the same as the color chromatic scale in this book which corresponds to the popular Chromanotes color system. Popular in the US, the Chroma-Notes Colored Music System mixes the three primary colors: red, yellow, and blue. Mixing them gives three colors in between (orange, green, and violet), and mixing the 6 colors gives the new color tones. In total, there are 12 colors, which include all 12 notes of the chromatic scale, and one color blends into the next. The first 3 chroma-note colors are identical to the chakra color (C - red, D - orange, E - yellow). Note F is light green, note G - blue-green, A - blue-violet or magenta, and B - violet. We use here the Boomwhackers color system commonly used by American music teachers. All songs from this book are possible to play on an 8-note one-octave instrument. This book is aimed at your first musical experience no matter what age you are. There is no wrong time or not enough preparation to take up spiritual pursuits.

This book was written with beginners in mind. All songs were written with circles in the musical staff, and there are no stems or flags - only notes on the line - to keep it simple. If you are a beginner, playing by note can be difficult. It is easier to follow color-coded circles with note letters. Just by following the color circles, you will sound like an experienced musician. Music bells create an amazing sound and there is no need to worry about being in tune or finger position. The unique advantage of bell sets is the fact that each note is created by an individual bell, so the notes that are not used in a particular song can be removed and the student has a greater chance for success. A handbell orchestra acts as one instrument, with each musician responsible for their particular notes, sounding their assigned bells whenever those notes appear in the music. Give each participant one or two bells and ask them to join in a simple melody. Independently, whether the player has musical knowledge or not, the band will sound harmoniously with just a little bit of training. The color of the bells or resonator blocks must be the same as the color of the bells below. Our color chromatic scale corresponds to the chakra system. C low - red, D - orange, E - yellow, F - green, G - light blue, A - blue, B - violet, and C high - white. Each chakra is said to vibrate at a different frequency and is associated with a particular color and particular music note. There are two parts of our songbook. We present the traditional African songs in the first part and the African-American spirituals in the second. Part 1.

Usually, a guide for kalimba offers the possibility of playing by letter or by number, with letters being more common. The modern kalimba often has engraved letters representing the name of the notes. Under the engraved letter (or above the number), you can find one or two dots. These dots represent the octave above the center octave. We also put dots under the letters in the sheet music if they use an octave other than the main kalimba octave. In this book, we recommend playing by letter and/or color. Even if the signs are not engraved on the keys, normally, however, each kalimba has letter-coded stickers included in the set. Usually, they are not color-coded and since our book doesn’t include stickers, we suggest making color-coded stickers yourself. This is very easy and you can do it with very small pieces of colored paper. Our sheet music is not for a specific kalimba but is universal and suitable for 8-17 note kalimbas. We made our pictured sheet music as simple as possible, songs have been transposed for a diatonic range. Some melodies might be changed and simplified. You’ll quickly begin to play by letter-coded circles. The book has two parts. The first one contents folk songs, the second one has popular hymns and spirituals. Table of contents Part 1.

Ukuleles are a beautiful addition to elementary music classrooms. By playing ukuleles, students learn about chord progressions, develop vocabulary, and accompany vocal and instrumental melodies. The ukulele's timbre supports the child's voice, often allowing students to hear and sing harmony more accurately with ukulele accompaniment. Such experiences promote independent musicianship; many students purchase their own ukulele and enjoy playing at home, even beyond their elementary years.As with recorder instruction, we believe ukuleles should be integrated with other classroom instruments, and in this book, you find orchestrations with barred instruments, unpitched percussion, and recorder. Some lessons include creative movement and improvisation. Keep in mind these lessons may span several class sessions.As music teachers, we strive to be lifelong learners. We encourage you to branch out, pick up a uke, and STRUM IT UP!

Spirituals were an intrinsic part of the African-American plantation life and were sung at all important occasions and events. This volume is the first index of African-American spirituals to be published in more than half a century and will be an important research tool for scholars and students of African-American history and music. The first collection of slave songs appeared in 1843, without musical notation, in a series of three articles by a Methodist Church missionary identified simply as c. Collections that included musical notation began appearing in the 1850s. The earliest book-length collection of spirituals containing both lyrics and music was published in 1867 and entitled Slave Songs of the United States. Not since the 1930s, with the publication of the Index to Negro Spirituals by the Cleveland Public Library, has an index of spirituals been compiled. The spirituals are neatly organized in four indexes: a title index, first line index, alternate title index and a topical index that includes twenty major categories. A bibliography of indexed sources serves as a guide for further research.
