Tongue drum - Vilac

This Zen-sounding metal percussion instrument is thought to be of Aztec origin. Like a xylophone, each metal ‘tongue’ produces a unique sound.

Tuned in C major and with an octave, our tongue drum is a fun way for children to learn about music. Our team of music experts has created sheet music especially for this instrument, so you can start off with a few well-known tunes.

An explanatory sheet will also help them understand the relationship between the sounds produced by the tongue drum and classical notation (C scale also written with Anglo-Saxon letters) as well as the correspondence with note duration and rhythm (eighth notes, quarter notes, white notes, etc.). A first step into the wonderful world of music.

Benefits: An original, durable metal musical instrument with an original, mellow, Zen sound; original sheet music and method; an introductory toy for sounds and rhythms.

Contents: A tongue drum, a pair of drumsticks, a storage and transport case and 10 scores.
