Description
In this course you will learn how to play 30 Themes from Classical Music on the Kalimba (with 17 tines) - and that without previous musical knowledge, you don't even have to be able to read music notes.
We start with the basic playing techniques (holding the Kalimba and playing the first notes) and refine them with a few simple exercises. If the basis and playing the notes works, you can practice and deepen melody playing with 30 well-known and popular Themes from Classical Music.
The melodies and an accompanying band can be heard in the song videos, the well-known "Karaoke" technique underlines the tine symbols to be played in the tablature - you can see what you hear. In addition, an animated graphic of a Kalimba shows where the tines are. And all of this with increasing difficulty - this is how you learn the instrument, and not just the songs in this course.

Bereits mit 6 Jahren erlernte ich mein erstes Musikinstrument, seit 1985 bin ich auf den Brettern, die die Welt bedeuten, als Musiker mit eigenen Bands und als Sideman vieler Musikprojekte tätig. Von den vielen erlernten Instrumenten (Akkordeon, Piano, Saxophon, Gitarre) haben sich die diatonische Mundharmonika ("Bluesharp"), die Gitarre und die Gesangsstimme als Hauptinstrumente ergeben. Später kamen noch Okarina, Kalimba und weitere Instrumente dazu.
Die 35 Jahre Bühnenerfahrung - zum Großteil als Berufsmusiker - brachten mehr als 1500 Live-Auftritte (vom kleinen Clubgig bis zum Großevent, von Vernissagen bis zu TV- Auftritten) und Präsenz auf vielen Tonträgern.
Im Jahr 1995 begann meine Laufbahn als Musiklehrer im Einzelunterricht und in vielen Workshops und Kursen. Ein weiteres Betätigungsfeld begann im Jahr 2015 mit der Erstellung der ersten Musiklehrbücher und Liederbücher, bis heute wurden über Hundert Bücher veröffentlicht.
Viele dieser Bücher entstanden in Zusammenarbeit mit der Multiinstrumentalistin Bettina Schipp. Ihre Hauptinstrumente sind so gut wie alle Saiteninstrumente (hauptsächlich Gitarre und Ukulele), aber auch Flöten, Okarinas, Kalimba, Lyra und vieles mehr. Als Inhaberin eines Fachgeschäftes für Musikalien und Kleininstrumenten sind Wünsche und Anfragen von Musikinteressierten ihr tägliches Brot. Diese Wünsche fließen in die Erstellung der Liederbücher, in die Auswahl der Instrumente und in die Auswahl der Songs ein.
Beide leben und arbeiten in Linz / Austria / Europe.

I learned my first musical instrument at the age of 6 and have been on stage since 1985, as a musician with my own bands and as a sideman on many music projects. From the many instruments learned (accordion, piano, saxophone, guitar) the diatonic harmonica ("blues harp"), the guitar and the singing voice have emerged as the main instruments. Ocarina, kalimba and other instruments were added later.
The 35 years of stage experience - mostly as a professional musician - brought more than 1,500 live performances (from small club gigs to large events, from vernissages to TV appearances) and presence on many sound carriers.
In 1995 I began my career as a music teacher in one-to-one tuition and in many workshops and courses. Another field of activity began in 2015 with the creation of the first music textbooks and songbooks, and over a hundred books have been published to date.
Many of these books were created in collaboration with the multi-instrumentalist Bettina Schipp. Their main instruments are almost all stringed instruments (mainly guitar and ukulele), but also flutes, ocarinas, kalimba, lyre and much more. As the owner of a specialist shop for music and small instruments, requests and inquiries from those interested in music are her daily bread. These wishes flow into the creation of the songbooks, the selection of the instruments and the selection of the songs.
Both live and work in Linz / Austria / Europe.
