Christmas Kalimba Music
Learn to Play Your Favorite Christmas Carols
Kalimba Magic is the place to go for kalimba Christmas music:
Picture it: It's Christmas Eve and you sit with your family or stand before your church congregation, you raise your kalimba and begin to pick out the beautiful notes of a wonderful Christmas hymn such as Silent Night or Away in a Manger... Joy fills the room and touches all hearts.
Yes! We have the resources that could make that a reality, but you had better get busy learning your favorite Christmas Carols. There are only 45 practice days left until Christmas!
Our 20% Off Sale November 11 and 12 will make your Christmas purchase all the sweeter.
Christmas Carols for the Beginner
Kalimba Christmas Carols (32 pages, CD included, $20) has 20 carols for the Alto Kalimba and 7 carols for the Treble Kalimba, though several songs written out for the Alto can be played on the Treble. This book starts out easy and progresses to moderately advanced arrangements. This is a great place to start if you have been playing for a year or less.
Advanced Christmas Books for Alto and Treble
If you have some experience reading tablature and you want to play well, we have two great books for you. A few years ago I had the chance to write out the arrangements of several Christmas carols as I perform them, and last year Sharon Eaton put these together into books for the Alto and Treble kalimbas.
The Advanced Christmas Carols Book for the Alto Kalimba and the Advanced Christmas Carols Book for the Treble Kalimba each have 48 pages and include these 20 Christmas carols:
- Angels from the Realms of Glory
- Angels We have Heard on High
- Away in a Manger (American)
- Away in a Manger (English)
- Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella
- Carol of the Bells
- Deck the Halls
- Emmanuel
- Fairest Lord Jesus
- The First Noel
- God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
- Good King Wenceslas
- Hark the Herald Angels Sing
- Jingle Bells
- Joy To the World
- Oh Christmas Tree
- O Come All Ye Faithful
- Silent Night
- We Three Kings
- We Wish You a Merry Christmas
