Simple Sheet Music - Just Follow the Circles!

This book includes 53 popular, rhythmic, and easy-to-play folk songs and melodies from all over the world. Through music, we are brought together, and we can gain a better understanding of people from all corners of the Earth.

We recommended scanning the QR code on each page and listening to the melody and rhythm before playing. This is the most natural method to learn music. You do not need to have any musical experience or be able to read music using this book. Our circles do not show the pitch and duration of notes and rhythmic patterns. All melodies were simplified for a one-octave Otamatone.

The Otamatone is an electronic musical device that operates on batteries. Its name blends the Japanese “otamajakushi” (which means “tadpole” or “ladle”) with “tone,” reflecting both its appearance and the sounds it produces. Though originally made as a toy, it has gained popularity among musicians as a playful yet expressive instrument.
