Description
In this course you will learn how to play 30 songs from Ireland & Great Britain on the Kalimba (with 17 tines) - and that without previous musical knowledge, you don't even have to be able to read music notes.
We start with the basic playing techniques (holding the Kalimba and playing the first notes) and refine them with a few simple exercises. If the basis and playing the notes works, you can practice and deepen melody playing with 30 well-known and popular songs from Ireland and Great Britain.
The melodies and an accompanying band can be heard in the song videos, the well-known "karaoke" technique underlines the tine symbols to be played in the tablature - you can see what you hear. In addition, an animated graphic of a Kalimba shows where the tines are. And all of this with increasing difficulty - this is how you learn the instrument, and not just the songs in this course.
