Kalimba Songbook: Music Book of 50 Popular Songs that Everyone Knows and Loves : Easy Guide for Kalimba in C (10 and 17 key) for Teens and Adults

Great songbook with a wonderful variety of tunes

21 of the songs are only PARTIAL songs because the range/scale on a kalimba can't reach some of the notes. So they didn't put that part of those 21 songs in the book! I was disappointed.

I know that when you are learning something new it helps to know the songs, which all in this book were very well known to me. Anything from Let it Be (Beatles), to Tears in Heaven (Eric Clapton) to Hotel California (Eagles) to Moves like Jagger (Maroon 5) - just loaded with songs every one would know. Excellent song book to learn the Kalimba!!

Great book

Some good songs on the book but some when played they don't sound like the song.

It has a good mixture b of sings. I know quite a few of them. Love how I can play songs I know right from the start. And they weren't to hard for me a beginner

I personally don't recognize the songs.

Very easy to read.

Bought as part of birthday present for my 12yr old granddaughter to go with new Kalimba. Although Kalimba came with a manual my granddaughter loved this book as it had clear instructions on a lot of popular songs she knew. Book is well illustrated and instructions clear. Younger sister aged 8 is using it too. I'm not well up on QR codes but grandchildren seem to know what they doing & how to use them. Having reviewed lots of these books I basically chose this one because I liked the colourful cover, good print size and the reasonable price and also it had good reviews. Happy I did as its a big hit with these Kalimba beginners. Like the A4 book size because it fits on music book stand nicely. Though paperback the cover is strong and pages are good quality.Highly recommend for young & not so young and not just for beginners. Enjoy

Das Buch enthält viele tolle Songs, allerdings sind einige Songs (z.B. Halleluja) nicht spielbar, da sie Töne enthalten die tiefer als das tiefe c sind. Es ist leider auch keine Anleitung enthalten, wie man mit dem Problem umgehen soll, dann bin ich mit anderen allgemeinen Liederbüchern (z.B. Liederkorb oder Mundorgel) besser bedient! Außerdem, hilft der QR-code nicht dabei einen Song spielen zu lernen, da kann ich auch selber den Song bei Youtube suchen. Schade!!

This book has a good selection of songs and includes QR codes to each so you can hear what the original song sounds like. The songs include the melody line, and the lyrics as well as the numbers for the kalima keys. Just note that they haven't included the dots above the numbers so if you don't read music, it might be unclear at first which "1" key you should use. It is fairly easy to figure out though and you could add your own dots as you go. There are a couple of songs that require notes that are lower than the Kalima can play. Not sure how to handle those parts yet. Most of the songs are fine though and I like the variety of songs.

Tolles Songbook.Noten sind groß geschrieben. Die Song Auswahl ist super modern und motivierend. Es gibt eine kleine Einleitung und QR Codes.Was ich mir evtl. noch gewünschte hätte wäre eine Einteilung der Songs in Schwierigkeitsgrade. Aber einfach ausprobieren hilft auch. Es hat auf jeden Fall verschiedene Schwierigkeitsgrade dabei.Gerne mehr von der Reihe!

Die Liedauswahl verführt zum Kauf allerdings ist das Buch bei näherer Betrachtung komplett enttäuschend! Die meisten Lieder sind auf einzelne begleitende Töne reduziert. 11 Mal hintereinander die gleicht Note zu spielen ist eine Zumutung für jedes Ohr. Da kann man besser im Takt auf den Tisch klopfen. Die QR-Codes verweisen nicht etwa auf das mit der Kalimba gespielte Lied sondern nur auf das youtube Video der jeweiligen Band/Gruppe. Viele Lieder beinhalten Noten, die zu tief sind um sie mit der 17er Kalimba spielen zu können. Daher der Rat: Finger davon lassen!
