Inhaltsangabe

This is a comprehensive introduction to the 8-Note Kalimba, with 50 songs and exercises, each with a sound recording.

This book’s breadth encompasses a detailed history of the kalimba in Africa, kalimba technique, an introduction and explanation of kalimba tablature notation system, kalimba exercises and games, well known folk songs, nursery rhymes, and beloved classical songs. The book is progressive, very simple at the very beginning, but achieving some pretty cool music by the end.

The recordings associated with each song can be accessed on an ancilliary Kalimba Magic web page.

Kalimba technique includes: instrument set up and tine painting, instrument tuning, glissando for chord playing, adding chords to melodies, and harmonizing melodies. Exercises include: scales, chords, patterns, two simultaneous patterns, and music to familiarize the reader with the kalimba and its unique bi-directional note layout. Songs include: “Kum Ba Ya”, “London Bridge”, “Michael Row Your Boat Ashore”, “Little Liza Jane”, “Happy Birthday to You”, “Jingle Bells”, “She’ll Be Comin’ Round the Mountain”, and “Amazing Grace”. Classical songs include: “Bach’s Minuet”, “Brahms’ Lullaby”, “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring”, “Theme to Masterpiece Theater”, and Dvorac’s New World Symphony’s “Going Home Theme”. Reference to Latin, African and pop music. Pretty amazing possibilities for just eight notes and 48 pages!

The book includes reference to other instructional materials for the 8-Note Kalimba.

This book can be used as an introduction to any diatonic kalimba with the key note in the bass on the right side of center. For example, the 10-Note Kalimba in C, the 17-Note Kalimba in C, or the Hugh Tracey Alto Kalimba.
