Introducing the Studio Ghibli kalimba collection, featuring arrangements with chords for every song!
The kalimba is a popular folk instrument in recent years. This collection features 20 classic Studio Ghibli songs, arranged with chords for the easy-to-play and popular 17-note kalimba, and features melody and accompaniment chords that sound gorgeous even when played alone.
In addition to the Do-Re-Mi furigana (phonetic notation), the sheet music also includes the numerical note names engraved on the instrument for every song. You can easily play by comparing the notes with the instrument.
The book begins with a chart showing the kalimba's note names and staff correspondences, easy musical conventions, and a page explaining basic kalimba playing techniques, making it easy for even those new to music and instruments! This book is also recommended for those who have become somewhat accustomed to staff notation through the previously published "Let's Get Started with Kalimba!" melody collection series, as well as for those who feel that melody notation isn't enough or who struggle to create chords themselves.
Enjoy Studio Ghibli masterpieces to your heart's content on the easy-to-play kalimba!
