It's cute that you called us kalimbuddies
Yes! Hahahaha! Was thinking of a name i could call our community and the term kalimbuddies had a cute ring to it. So. Yay! 😆♥️
@@TipsKalimba cute ring to it...was that meant for a pun or-
@River Alexis it worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my account :D
@Easton Gordon glad I could help :D
Best kalimba's teacher ever. Thank you for these content. ♡♡♡
Lara, you're the sweetest. 🥰
Thank you for sharing that with me. It's so humbling. ❤️
Lara, I agree!
Aww i feel so humbled 🥰❤️
@@TipsKalimba could you do one with how to read the notes you do in your other channel becuse I don’t know how to read the note subtitles
Sure! I would love to make one on that. I think it's also a great way to feature my co-kalimba friends. Got any person in specific?
Me: getting a kalimba soon and did not know how to read tab.
My mind: This is gonna be difficult
Me later: Oohhh I get it now.
That's so cool to know , Ellen! 🥰
Same here ahaha.
Aww that makes me happy to know, Evelyn. ❤️
i’m getting one soon! i hope this helps :)
I hope so too!
I just got my first Kalimba last week. How to I find your other videos? I watched the Kalimba 101: which one should I get and how to tun your Kalimba...I really am enjoying your teaching. Thank you. It’s making sense!
Oooh that's so amazing to hear! I'm glad that it's making sense to you ♥️
Well, here is the view of my channel and you can go to "videos" to see the others. :) All the teachings are under the "kalimba lessons for beginners" playlist
Tip's Kalimba Thank you!
@@dianeburnell2374 did you find them, Diane? 😊
Tip's Kalimba I did!
@@dianeburnell2374 yaaay! Well have fun now. 😊
Hi, i was planning to learn how to play kalimba because it is so relaxing and calming. When i watched some of your tutorial i have a strong urge to buy a kalimba❤️ you are a great teacher. I thank you for that❤️❤️
Hello Tip’s Kalimba! I love watching your videos. In the video, you noticed why they use numbers for the notes instead of letters.
I would like to share why they use numbers for writing kalimba music in 2:47 and 3:18. Those numbers are based on scale degrees. Scale degrees allow us to play the music in different keys. To make it easier, they are also marked on the tines.
Kalimbas are tuned in C (C major scale) normally because it has no sharps and flats. Good for those who want to start to learn music. The first note of the C major scale is C, second is D and so on. So C=1, D=2, E=3, F=4, G=5, A=6, B=7. In B major scale: B=1, C#=2, D#=3, E=4, F#=5, G#=6, A#=7.
For kalimbas tuned in C, The scale degree of 1 (without the dot/s) does not mean that it is the center tine though. It can be on any tine. One good example is the 21-key kalimbas with markings on the tine. The center is F=4 (with a dot below). Same thing happens when we adjust the sound of some tines to change the tuning of the kalimba from C to G or F etc. unless we adjusted the pitch of all the tines.
The markings are used as a visual guide for us when we start playing kalimba without using stickers. It also assumes that it is always be tuned in C and with the sound of C on the center. If the tuning is changed to D or B or F by changing the sound of some times, we need to remind ourselves, mentally or with another visual guide, that the sounds and the scale degrees (mostly disregarded) will be different from what is on the markings.
Scale degrees are really used for writing numbered music notation, the ones that you showed in 2:47 and 3:18. But I noticed on some kalimba covers, they use those numbers to make tabs. They just specify the correct tuning of each tines in the beginning, especially when the song is not played in C (not transposed).
Sorry for the long comment, hope that would help you and others who noticed the same thing.
Thank you very much and God bless.😁
I had a very weird day which culminated in me crying to a kalimba cover, impulse buying one off amazon and now binging your channel. 10/10 would recommend
Hahaha! This made me smile. Thank you for sharing this. Which kalimba did you buy?
@@TipsKalimba i bought the kimi acrylic because the sound of it felt so damn magical (i know its heavy apparently but i just fell in love with what i heard from it). Hopefully in a few months i can make it sound nicely!
Well, I'm sure you can if you choose to. 😄❤️
I just purchased my first Kalimba from amazon! I am so excited to learn! Thank you for these videos! I look forward to watching all of them so I can master it!
ooooh! that is so cool! which one did you decided to get?😍 ugh i can already imagine how exicting this must be for you!

Hey how are you getting on 1 year later ?????
I'm so tempted to buy a Kalimba now! Your tutorials are so clear and it doesn't make my head hurt ❤️
Haahahha! I love that! That's what I'm actually after. To make it light and easy to understand. So thank you for sharing this with me ❤️

@@nightliam. I did! Been playing for a year now!
@@StrawbearryMilk so cool!! :D
I found your channel by chance and I just got my Kalimba yesterday. 😆♥️ Thank you so much for the lesson! I was sooo confused with the manual and your explanation is direct and easy to learn. Haha.
Aww Congratulations @shiro! Which kalimba is it by the way? 😊
You’re such a great teacher! I ordered my very first Kalimba today & cannot wait to start practicing with your helpful video tips! I will be watching all your UA-cam videos to get me started! God Bless you & be well! 🌸
You are so good explaining 🥺 Thx for your fabulous content and your hard working ❤️!
You remind me of my piano teacher. Which is not a bad thing at all, I love my piano teacher. The reason I say that
is because your voice is very similar to her...
calming,quiet,sweet. I love your videos they are very helpful!!!
Thank you!
🥰 wow. That's so sweet of you to share with me. I feel so special knowing that i remind you of good memories.
Thank you so much for the love and your words 😍
yes, you absolutely made it seem clearer now. thank you so much, you've been really helpful. :)
Aww. So glad to know that it's clearer to you now. Thank you for expressing that. 😊
You are simply amazing! Thank you so much
Omg thank you so much I play drums, ukulele, flute, piano and I’m trying to learn the kalimba and as soon as you flipped it to the side I was like ... omg this makes so much more sense!!!
Hailey, you're awesome! you must really love music, huh? i love it!~
So glad that the change in the perspective of the tablatures made it clearer for you :D
Your explanation on reading the tab are much understandable.. Im watching other to understand to read tab, but getting headache instead.. Your explanation is much simpler and understandable.. Thank you so so much.
aww. thank you for sharing this with me. i really appreciate that. but most of all, i am glad that you understand reading the tabs better now :D
This is so helpful! I like playing my kalimba a lot more now that I understand tabs! 🥰
Im so blessed that I found your content 💕 love it!
Aww thank you so much for finding this channel and for the love 🥰❤️
i just got mine in today & i can’t wait to play!! tysm for this it was extremely helpful!!
Oh congratulations, mei mei! 🥰
You have gave me so many tips when I was confused so you deserve my sub ✨🥰
I just got one for Christmas! This is so helpful thanks!
I like the way how you discuss about kalimbas it's so relaxing. I'll become a kalimbuddies if my kalimba will arrive soon.💜
aw thank u so much. i will learn slowly
When playing kalimba, should I memorize the placement of the keys (to play the kalimba while looking at the tabs/notes at all times) or should I memorize the tabs/notes for different songs instead (to look at the kalimba while playing without going back and forth to the tab/notes)? I've been playing the kalimba while looking at both the keys and tabs/notes at the same time, and it's a bit difficult to play smoothly.
I had an Ah Ha moment with your video! so thank you! I have been teaching myself by ear. now I'm ready to try reading music I was so confused. you turned it on it side and BAM it all clicked! Thanks Love ♥
I'm excited to receive my first ever kalimba aaa now im watching your videos and i easily understand this thank you so much!!

Thank you for helping me... Know I know how to read tablatures
My vision is so bad that it is a struggle for me to see the tabs.
I personally would prefer the numbers or letters.
Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and knowledge.
You are a kind thoughtful person. 💖🌻💖🌻💖🌻💖
Aww Sunny, i really love reading your comments 🥰 well, then we can surely make the most of what works. And that is what makes you unique.
Thank you so much for sharing your insight 🥰💗
As a pianist, I think it’s kind of funny and cool how different the sheet music is for a Kalimba is compared to a more mainstream instrument. Like, reading piano sheet music, it’s always left to right, then top to bottom, and then there’s two staffs - top (usually treble clef) and bottom (usually bass clef). The former you play with your right hand, the latter with your left. And don’t get me started on dynamics, arpeggios, and tempo.
Woaaaah! You know what, i never knew this! I've always wanted to know what those two staffs were for. But i totally understand it now! Wow you are so insightful! I should definetly go to you these kind of terms. 😄
Tbh it seems like tabs are a more complicated way to write music down in pursuite to make it easier than sheet music 😅
♥︎❀I love this girl ❀♥︎
Thank you.I’m still a little confused, but at least I can get through it better. Now it’s just a matter of getting use to it.
thank you . this is really helpful ☺️
