This book contains waltz melodies for a steel tongue drum with a major scale. Keep in mind that there exist also tongue drums with another scale like the pentatonic scale. If you play your tongue drum from 1 to i (or 8) and it sounds like do re mi fa sol la si do, this book is suitable for you. The melodies are written in easy to read tables and on a musical staff. There are links included to hear them. All music in this book is composed by the author. For every melody there are chord symbols included, in case you want to play a C scale tongue drum together with other musicians. If you have a tongue drum with another major scale, the chords have to be transposed. Depending on the instrument, this can be very easy. Almost all keyboards have a transpose function and for guitars, a capo can be used. The music in this book is also very suitable for a soprano recorder. When there are two simultaneous notes, play only the highest one.
