Mantras use the energy of sacred sound to bring benefit to the human body and psyche. This is done through vibration, content, and repetition, and the purpose is to harmonize the energy of one’s heart, mind, and body. The creation of this balance of energy has been used for centuries to access and open the human heart and mind and connect them to spiritual powers. Most mantras consist of simple words or sounds that evoke a deep resonance.
These mantras were adapted here for Tongue Drum and Handpan and they are possible to play on most drum models. Songs have been transposed for a steel drum sound range. Some melodies have been changed and simplified.
The steel tongue drum (aka tong drum, tank drum, gluck-o-phone, hapi, or steeldrum) and the handpan (aka hank drum, UFO drum, zen drum, meditation, healing, or chakra drum) are percussion musical instruments designed to help you focus on your feelings, sensations, and body. The main purpose is relaxation, meditation, and traveling through your inner world.
I wrote the note numbers above the notes because my sheet music is aimed at absolute beginners. Just follow numbers and enjoy.
Also, I added a QR code to most songs. Follow the link and find this song before beginning to play.
Which tongue drum are these songs suitable for?
Each tongue drum is very different, and it is impossible to accommodate songs for all kinds of tongue drums in one e-book. This e-book is suitable for most models of handpan, but if you have a tongue drum, it should have a minimum of 10 keys, because many songs in this e-book involve more than one-octave notes. 13 melodies from this e-book are suitable for a 1-octave tongue drum. Others melodies require a 10+ key tongue drum or a handpan.
