This sheet music book was written to help the beginner, be they, child or adult, learn to play music in a simple and easy way that requires no previous knowledge of music. Just by following the circles with letters, you will sound like an experienced musician. Playing music can be effortless and an enjoyable game. There are 3 levels in this book: Level 1 and 2 are for beginners and use circles with letter notation, instead of notes. Level 3 has letter notation and traditional musical notes. Level 1. Songs that are possible to play within the main octave. Level 2. Songs that need to be played in an octave other than the main octave, or songs that involve the flat notes. Now you will need to select the proper note/key by ear. Level 3. These songs have been written for one octave with ordinary “adult“ musical notes and symbols. To begin to play right away without any musical knowledge, you just need to obtain and apply the stickers with letter-notation and on each key of your melodica. Most melodicas include these stickers, but you can buy them separately or create your own using common peelable paper stickers.

From there i was able to translate the notes over to the Melodica key board for a wonderful Silent Night song during the holidays. Review: Not very exciting - I liked this book because it contains a lot of songs and made me get started, but the notation is ideosyncratic and will probably teach very bad habits. I play a couple tunes out of it every night for practice, but there are probably better resources for the price.

Poor, confusing system.
It’s good that pages 1 & 2 give description of and taking care of a Melodica. However, after that is a maze. Circles with a number inside is harder to use than regular musical notation. Reading inside a circle then at keys is back and forth. The letters in a circle don’t distinguish whole note, half note, etc. The instructions on page 3 is not for beginners unless already know the terminology. However, the 5 songs in back of book with regular notation has letter written above each note. One can relate the number right at the keyboard. Sorry I bought It.
