My new book: 33 Songs for Toy Xylophones
I released a new paperback book recently, called 33 Songs for Toy Xylophones. It is a book of music scores for toy xylophones and metallophones (8 notes): It contains songs for children, as well as folk songs from around the world (Japan, France, Russia…). It uses special notation for 8-note instruments so that it can be used even if you don’t know the standard notation for classical music. Like my previous books, it was self-published through Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing.
