==Description==
We call this series “I don’t read music” since we are targeting beginners of all ages: children, teens, parents, grandparents.

Folk music traditionally is not learned from sheet music or notes. Instead, it is learned by repetition and from being passed from generation to generation. We believe in this method of teaching, which is easier and more enjoyable.

This book includes 63 familiar and easy-to-play folk songs and melodies. Each song here
is written with color circles and letter notes inside. Most songs have been simplified and
transposed for one octave. . Since this book is aimed at the absolute beginner without any
knowledge of reading music, we do not use here the classical music staff and do not show
the note duration. You can experiment with the duration on your own.

If you have very little music experience, playing by note can be difficult. It is easier to
follow color-coded circles with note letters. By simply following the color circles, you
will sound like an experienced musician.

This songbook uses the Chroma-Notes Colored Music System, popular in the US.
