How To Play The Kalimba for Beginners | Easy Exercises & Lessons

[@Hibiscus665]

At first when i heard you have a website that offers free lessons and recourses n stuff I didn’t believe it, but then I visited it and it’s true! This will be so much more accessible for people who can’t afford to pay a subscription. Thanks for teaching the world Kalimba lessons 👍✨

[@SamSalvador]

I'm glad you enjoyed the website and I hope for the best with your kalimba journey! ☺️

[@goodmeditation666]

What a beautiful lady 💓💌

[@jademonass2954]

i didnt expect the lessons to be free, is so happy!! i can finally start learning the kalimba without being intimidated thank you so much!!

[@JeanetteManago]

I’ve never played any musical instrument , so I’m very excited to learn kalimba as a beginner 😊

[@SamSalvador]

[@crestfallenwarrior6996]

I just started. I’m 35 and needed something to mess around with musically. Great while sitting on the couch and chillin. Lol

[@jikotakuhaibin]

This is the best tutorial I’ve seen. It’s good to learn the basics since I never did exercises, but just picked up the kalimba and plucked keys at random. I loved your videos back then and I sill love them today. You are an amazing person and thank you for sharing! >^.^

[@toneystank]

I just ordered my first kalimba and am so excited to start learning, I’m happy I found your lessons, thank you!!

[@MissLisa2012]

I've been following you a couple of weeks ago and I got fascinated by your videos and how Kalimba is such a great instrument. Now that I discovered that you made an entire course/ guide to help people learn about this instrument, I'm admiring you even more! Thank U from Brazil 🇧🇷❤️

[@deibuseipai36]

I remember I'm always watching your tutorials in your past videos🥰❤️❤️ and now I'm still learning and practicing on how to play a Kalimba perfectly because of limited time to practice 🤣 You is a good teacher 🥰🥰 I have learned a lot in this video🥰 You will always be an inspiration for us to learn how to play music🥰 by the way we miss you🥰 Have a nice day to all and God Bless 🥰❤️

[@rebecca-at-youtube]

Thanks for all the free lessons and tabs! I just purchased some things from your shop to support you ♥♥

[@SamSalvador]

Thank you so much! 💓

[@K.Arashi]

Thank you for this! I did about 30 minutes of exercises and already feel so much more comfortable learning how to play the kalimba, going forward 😁

[@coridaw715]

I've had mine for an hour and have leaned a bit I was so excited to find that it is in time with no dead times!!😍 Can't wait to learn a whole song!😁

[@josephlarrisey3521]

I just bought my first kalimba. I was introduced to it in a video for the song Angry Eyes by Loggins & Messina. It seems intriguing. I’ve been playing guitar for over 30 years and also some keyboards. I look forward to this new instrument in my ever growing musical journey.

[@vietnam973]

I got a kalimba recently and your videos are very useful for trying learn to play the kalimba. Thanks for the help!

[@robertbronkowski3262]

Thank you, just got a kalimba yesterday. This video really helped.

[@wayne7018]

My moozica solid wood 17 key Kalimba ($44 from Amazon plus sales tax) arrived about 1 hour ago and following your tutorial, and using insTuner (it seems easier to use than PanoTuner) and the hammer I was able to tune it in about 30 minutes. I can tap out some tunes that I'll need to practice with using Metronome but it is nice to see the notes show up in tune while I play. This Kalimba came with a nice case, nicely finished solid wood, steel keys, a starter booklet, a hammer, a bag (guess the hammer isn't supposed to go in the case) and two of those thumb things you mentioned. THANKS!!!!!

[@nikaotto]

super helpful and informational video! I never felt like I could understand an instrument but this is making it easy enough for me to actually enjoy music. thank you

[@alexandramcleod2079]

Beautifully offered. Thank you. Many blessings

[@generaluser9492]

As someone who never touch or play any instruments, Kalimba seems to be a good instrument to practice for me. Thank you for the lesson. ❤

[@greetoostvogels1120]

I am a beginner and I love this lesson, thank you very much.

What a great video, Sam! This is so well edited and easy to understand. I'm definitely going to check out the site right away. What a cool idea. I really admire how hard you work!

[@kcap55]

Hi Sam, I love your video's! You've inspired me to want to learn how to play the kalimba. I'm waiting for my Kalimba to be delivered next week and I can't wait. I decided to buy the Hluru flat board 17 key kalimba. I tried the Lingting 17 flat board but the hard edges hurt my hands. I'm hoping the Hluru will be better for me. Thanks again, your sweet voice and easy way of explaining things is very helpful!!!!

Sam, you are very professional in teaching.

Hi Sam! I recently purchased a kalimba and this video helps me so much! How often do you have to tune your kalimba ? Thank you!❤

[@Brian-qn2mx]

For me I don’t tune it again except for when I need to changed the notes like when I tune the b to b flat

[@mickmclearning9713]

Alternatively, you can use the hammerhead to press down or push up the tines. Knocking can be noisy esp towards the neighbors.

Ummm I have a question if you don't mind😅if we already mastered all the basic and practices can we try to play any song on our kalimbas? Edited: sorry I meant can we try to play easy song next

[@SamSalvador]

Yes you can play easy songs next! Here is a list of songs you can try playing categorized for your skill level www.kalimbaclasses.com/play-songs

[@helenai13]

I have just recently seen this instrument (with 8 keys) on the internet and immediately searched on KZbin how to possibly learn how to play it. The first video that showed up was yours and I’m happy for that. Your presence is sweet and your voice very pleasant. Thank you for an excellent tutorial and for such generosity by granting free lessons. I believe you are a great teacher and look forward to watching more so that I can decide about purchasing this delightful instrument. And regarding this, would you recommend any website or brand? How can we trust a purchase on Amazon for example? Thank you in advance!

[@SamSalvador]

Hello helenai! I'm glad you enjoyed this tutorial :D In regards with purchasing kalimbas online, you can usually read the amazon reviews on the product and I found them to be really useful especially when it comes to quality of what I'm trying to purchase. A tip I usually do is look at the reviews with the lowest ratings so that I can have an expectation of what can go wrong with the kalimba. If the bad reviews just involve slow shipping or bad packaging yet still having a good quality kalimba, then that's usually a good sign to purchase :)

[@helenai13]

@@SamSalvador thanks for responding. I also do what you mentioned above regarding reviews on Amazon items. Thank you!

Ah! Just one question about the course. Can I follow your lessons using a Kalimba app to learn how to play? I just bought my Kalimba yesterday and it will take a long time waiting to have it in my hands and I'm super excited to start as soon as possible (not too long, but one entire month).

I can now play the Happy Birthday song on my Kalimba but I still can't play the second exercise at 80 BPM. Even at half the pace I keep making mistakes 😢 Nevertheless, I'm sure I'll get there some day with enough practise.
