  • Best book so far on beginning to play the kalimba
Simple, easily understood book. I have purchased a number of "how to play a kalimba " books. This one is the easiest and best thus far. I am actually beginning to play things that don't make my ears hurt. 😁

  • Just what I needed
This book was very helpful and well written.

  • A good introduction to the Kalimba
A lot of good information about music in general and the kalimba in particular. Very good information about the instrument, its origins, its care and its maintenance. I have a musical background and found the introduction to reading music, geared to the kalimba, concise and well presented. The audio examples will be especially helpful to someone who is new to music. Just note that this is not a songbook, though a few songs are included. Definitely worth purchasing if you are a kalimba beginner. ... show more

  • Could Have Been a Manual
I read this book cover to cover (didn’t take long) and realized that the information it gave me was so basic I would have picked it up over a few weeks of learning how to play the kalimba. The highlights for me was it taught me how to read kalimba sheet music, how to play the kalimba while reading regular sheet music, and introducing me to some of the ubiquitous songs that are played by fledgling musicians (Ode to Joy, Hot Cross Buns, etc.). Personally, I didn’t need the opening chapters on music theory, but if you don’t know anything about reading notes or time signatures, then this would be a good buy. ... show more

  • Really Kalimba????
So when I saw the book I said"wow I can learn to play it..." When it came the only thing I liked about it was the cover. When I opened it,clearly the pages are photo copied,it's so darn small even with glasses it's hard to read,I was so mad. When I open it I just close it back. It has got to be a better book than this one. I'm so disappointed ... show more
