Do you know Kalimba?
“Kalimba” is an instrument I can also recommend to people who want to start playing an instrument, but don't know what to do... have always been bad at music...
In this class, you can learn everything in a step-up manner: introductory, basic, intermediate, and applied.
In the performance of the song, there are 3 practice songs. There are 4 assignment songs. In both cases, we selected short songs from Disney, nursery rhymes, and famous classical songs, and organized a curriculum so that you can play many songs in a short period of time. We will also introduce basic exercises that can be used to exercise your fingers! It's also perfect for warming up before playing music ♪
In the bonus chapter, I will also introduce how to make scores and how to play and talk, etc., so not only can you enjoy playing with existing Kalimba scores after attending the course, but you can also make your own scores for songs you like and challenge yourself to play and talk ♪
Simple but rich tone ♫♪♬
Some kalimbas have a large number of sounds, but in this class, we will be teaching with a 17-note kalimba.
It's an instrument that looks very simple, but depending on the arrangement, you can enjoy a rich tone so much that you don't think the number of sounds is small ♪
You can view a total of 3 types of scores used in this class: “Doremi, Numbers, English.” We don't use staff notation or kalimba scores, so it's okay if you can't read the notes ◎ Please play with the score that is easiest for you to play!
Also, there are plenty of contents, from basic knowledge from how to arrange keyboard sounds, how to apply landmark stickers, how to play and practice to how to tune, to how to play and talk.
At home or on the go
A healing instrument that can be enjoyed anywhere
The kalimba is a soothing instrument whether you listen to it or play it with a cute and warm tone like a music box. The volume isn't loud either, so one of the attractions is that you can play it day or night.
The size is also compact, so you can easily take it not only at home but also when you go out ♪
Why don't you start a life with music through this class with a compact, cute, and soothing Kalimba?

In April 2020, when I was looking for a stay-at-home period, I thought “I want to start an instrument that I can easily do at home,” and when I was looking for it, I came across “Kalimba.” The sound is like a music box, and I remember feeling very warm and moved when I first heard it. “I also want to deliver a performance that will move everyone's hearts. I started the activity with the thought that “I want everyone to touch this sound and instrument by all means.”
Creator Interviews
Q. Why did you decide to offer online classes with CLASS101?
I heard from A.CLASS101 about the opening of classes, and I thought that online lessons that you can easily learn at home would be an opportunity for many people to know the appeal of Kalimba. Also, I feel that being able to learn by repeatedly watching videos “when and as many times as you like” on an on-demand system is a wonderful mechanism where you can take lessons effortlessly and happily at a pace that suits each person, so I want to offer classes here! I thought ^^
Q. What points did you put the most effort into when planning the class? Who would you recommend this class to?
A. I think there are people who are interested in musical instruments but give up because they can't read the score of the notes, or because Kalimba seems difficult. In this class, it is important to carefully take lessons one by one from the basics so that even those who are new to such musical instruments can take the course with peace of mind.
Also, since the content is learned in a step-up manner from the basics to the application, beginners can participate without worry.
Q. What kind of experiences do you want your classmates to experience through this class? Also, please say a word to your classmates!
A. I would be happy if you could enjoy a life with music as you learn the basics of kalimba through classes, fall in love with the sound and playing of the kalimba, and become able to actually play songs.
Also, take the course and it's over! Instead, I want them to enjoy Kalimba time in their favorite style from there ☆ All beginners! Don't worry! I'm following you ♡ There's a lot of fun and excitement waiting for you when the lesson starts, even if you're anxious pounding ♪
While being healed by the sound of the kalimba every day, let's enjoy the joy of being able to play to the fullest and enjoy Kalimba time together (*'`*)
