Xylophone, Glockenspiel, Bells for Beginner Adults. 45 Traditional African Songs

The songs in this book have been adapted and can be played on all models of popular wooden xylophone, metal glockenspiel (metallophone), or resonator blocks. Even a simple kids' xylophone will be adequate to play most of these songs. Some songs here have been simplified for beginners.

This book is aimed at those new to music and musical instruments and I put letter notation above the notes to make it possible for you to confidently begin playing.

Since African music assumes improvisation and variation, I recommend using this sheet music only as a guide. The most important thing is to listen and repeat the recordings linked to the QR code, so you can listen to the rhythm before beginning to play.
