Just got my kalimba 5 hours ago!! 😁. Edit: I've been doing this for so longggg my fingers hurt 😭. Edit: ok it's 3 weeks later and I've learned some songs, I think I've been doing good with my kalimba 😀
I just got mine and it is a wonderful replacement for overeating or any other bad habit. i will be recovering from the loss of a loved one for a long time.
Y'all waiting for your kalimbas to arrive?? I cant even order one online yet im still watching 👁️👄👁️ Update: DAM I forgot about this comment, I finally got to order a cheap kalimba that was worth the price dkjdisjxjs
Please continue this series and upload more kalimba exercises! This is exactly what I have been searching for for ages. Not just learning songs, but really practising to get better with exercices. The onliest thing I would like to see next time: Please include the tabs as text, because the keys are shiny and it's easy to get lost if you don't see those.
@@zerozeroeszeroed please don't be rude to others for spelling/grammar mistakes. English might not be their first language, they may be dyslexic or something similar, or they might've just made a mistake. Either way it doesn't do anyone any good :(
River Ellis Okay, I understand. Whenever I comment on someone's spelling I don't intend on being rude to them. Hopefully they just know now that there are different words for "onliest".
KalimbaCam, I felt so lost for so long. Thank you for producing a set of exercises I can actually put into action and follow. Please do continue to teach us!! Many thanks!
Por fin alguien que nos enseña desde el principio!!! Muchas gracias, ahora sí puedo aprender a tocar mi kalimba. (Finally someone who teaches us from the beginning !!! Thank you very much, now I can learn to play my kalimba)
Started today 6 Aug '20. I was at the turnaround in the second session when my brain seized and I turned all thumbs, but I persisted until when half way through the third session suddenly I could hear actual music coming from my own kalimba! Thanks Cam, looking forward to more instructions.
Why did I not find this video earlier? I got a kalimba from Wish ages ago (it's perfect and beautiful, don't get me wrong), but damned if I couldn't figure out how to play the damn thing! I already have 3 ocarinas, and apart from some initial tabs I looked up in order to play some songs, I learned over half of the songs I know completely by ear. Tabs for ocarina are also really easy to follow. Not so with kalimbas! Kalimba tabs look like a waking nightmare, lol, and as someone who can't even read music, it just looked too complicated. Guess what I'm trying to say is that this vid was awesome, and very simple to follow, and every bit made sense to me. Definitely going to try those Dyad notes, they sound really nice! As someone else below in the comment section also pointed out, it reminds me of the Rugrats theme song....which now maybe, I can work out how to play with these new skills. It's basically just up and down the scale after all....kinda. :P Thanks Cameron! This is an invaluable tutorial!
my kalimba arrived yesterday and because I don't play any instrument it's a bit hard to get into it :") I really enjoyed this video, I'm sure it will help me a lot!
as much as i love to ONLY practice by playing songs. I know i need to incorporate this into my routine if I really want to improve my technique and playing. Thanks!
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!! I LOVE UR CLASSES. IM OLDER AND SAW IT ON FB nd dDECIDED AT THAT MOMENT I WANT TO PLAY..THANK U FOR KEEPIN IT SIMPLY FOR EVEN A OLD LADY TO LEARN ...TY Dayna
Is it just me anyone who couldn't figure out what’s the difference between the One Octave scale and the Octave Dyad scale? Sorry, I couldn't spot any. This is a great tutorial for beginners :) Thanks.
Please, I only ask you to show us in detail the keys you play, for those of us who do not speak English and are only guided by that we see in the video. Thank you! ( Por favor, sólo te pido que nos muestres en detalle las teclas que tocas, para quienes no hablamos inglés y sólo nos guiamos por lo que vemos en el vídeo. Gracias! )

I just ordered two Kalimbas for my sister. Shes not musical, yet is busy and stressed. I got her one board karimba with built in phone holder to use an App which makes playing kalimba into an easy video game. I also got her a box kalimba for enjoying resonance and wah wahs. The board karimba with phone holder and App, arrives before xmas, and the super nice two wood box kalimba arrives the day after xmas. So she can leave them out as nice display and conversation pieces, yet pick them up and play whenever. The App will get her started. After a year theres an App subscribtion to continue. The box K, includes a protective travel case also. Both kalimbas are 17 tine models. I got harmonicas and ukeleles and wood spoons and a Cajon. All except the harmonicas are new instruments to me. I love playing my Ukeleles everyday, and my wood spoons. And I got finger shakers and foot tamborines and I purchased some new harmonicas too. Harmonica is a difficult instrument to really learn, understand, and play actual music with. Anybody can make nice sounds with it though. Ukeleles are easy and fun to learn with, yet anybody can make nice sounds as well. Quality wood spoon is easy to pick up and enjoy, and are easy to play in tandem with harmonica. I canfight with several weapons at once, yet playing several instruments together is much harder. I orxered my sister a book of kalimba songs as well. It includes introduction to music theory. The book will arrive after both kalimbas. I have never touched a kalimba, yet I could certainly play one, as I understand their layout. Such a pleasant relaxing and easy little instument. Independent of electricity, easy as carrying a purse to carry. Easy to learn to play and the box kalimba I got her is also very beautiful. I shouldve got myself one, yet I live in a broken down 33 year old van with my dog. Thinking of adding on another broken down van for some extra room before anymore instruments.
Hey there! I would highly recommend buying the Gecko K17M. It is a really great hollow bodied 17 key Kalimba that sounds great and is extremely affordable. You can buy it for $40 from my website which is far cheaper than other sellers. Link: kckalimbas.com/products/gecko-17-key-mahogany-c-tuned-kalimba-k17m Hope this helped :)
Like your videos, too. But, like another person, I couldn’t quite follow the second exercise. Could you show which tines you are using? I can’t see them.
I'm a complete noob when it comes to music in general, but I have a Kalimba and I'd like to understand at least the very basics of how to play a tune from memory. I have a question that might be stupid for anyone with more than a first class elementary school understanding of music, but it still confused me: When doing the arpeggios with the metronome, you're not actually hitting a key every time the metronome goes "tack". What is the timing that we should aim for in this part? I don't understand how we're in rhythm with the metronome if we're not playing one not at each "tack".
This is really useful, thank you. I just got my kalimba and am struggling because my nails are too short and picks are very slippery. But I practice anyway, hopefully it'll feel a bit more better to play once my nails grow out.
This video was for beginners thats why it's easier, its a little exercise that anyone can do to improve playing :). Im sure he mad another video making it a little more advanced.
Pov: Your watching this but don't even have your Kalimba yet
YET? my mother didn’t say Okay yet ☺️😔💔
For anyone else in this situation, you can download free kalimba app for your phone to practice until you get it.
@@bibblybing7689 yeah i am currently using it
Marcel so true... I haven't ordered mine yet... I want to learn before
Bing, yes that's what I'm doing rn
Just got my kalimba 5 hours ago!! 😁. Edit: I've been doing this for so longggg my fingers hurt 😭. Edit: ok it's 3 weeks later and I've learned some songs, I think I've been doing good with my kalimba 😀
wow, nice! :D
which songs did you learn? i got mine a few days ago and the ones in the songbook i got with it are getting a bit old 😅
WHAT SONGS
How are you doing by 2 months later?
He is Dead
He hurt his fingers and died
I just got mine and it is a wonderful replacement for overeating or any other bad habit. i will be recovering from the loss of a loved one for a long time.
I'm glad that you've found the Kalimba as a help. So sorry to hear of your loss, wishing you all the best in your healing journey.
That's exactly what I needed instead of jumping to songs straight away
This is the best lesson I’ve seen. Waiting on my Kalimba to arrive. Please keep the lessons coming! 💜

Nice video. Thanks for the tips 😊
you’re welcome :)
Thank you so much for this video
Thank you... This is amaizing ... I am just waiting for my kalimba
Oof I hate metronomes they stress me out
Is it mandatory to use metronomes.. N what does it really do?
Diablo Tripathi it’s probably not if you can time the ticking in your head
I thought I was the only one omfg
0i FeLiX nope. They literally make me panic. And no I don’t have any mental disorders that it could trigger.
Animal crossing Obsessed ME TOO it gives me the same anxiety I would with ticking clocks
Is there an instruction book that shows the names of the keys? It is hard to follow at times. Got lost on the second lesson.
Thank you ! great exercices
You're welcome!
Watched this same day my kalimba arrived
Pov: you are relating with the comments
Best lesson
Great tutor. Another new subscribe from here.
thank you so much 😁
Sooo helpful! Thank you ♥️
You're welcome. Glad it was helpful!
great lesson! thanks!
You're welcome :)
My excitement is palpable
Ok so this is how u use the metronome... I thought it was used for hypnosis 😆
Thank you for this!
You're welcome. Glad it was helpful!
Got mine today!
This is the best lesson Nice👍👏👏👏🙏
Should we do this warm up excerises daily?
This is so helpful... I am going to buy my first Kalimba. Please Suggest me one.

You can also search for metronome in google. I personally use it as a metronome
Damnnn, growing big!
It's an upgrade from CamCog for sure...😂
would you please advise on counting beats(metronome)??? never play any music instruments before
do you recommend the transparent one or yours ?? does it have a difference for beginners
we have the same kalimba!!❤
Thank you!
I really am thinking of getting one, I have acrylic nails short though. That ok,? I love the sound ..also 17 key better or 10 key?
We have same kalimba 😍
Like your videos, too. But, like another person, I couldn’t quite follow the second exercise. Could you show which tines you are using? I can’t see them.
How do I tune the kalimba if I can’t tune it, I try to download one but it’s not in my country?
Are the number under the the letter have important?
This video really helpful 😁
Thank you! Glad it was helpful.

Glad to hear it helped! Playing will definitely become easier if you let your nails grow out a bit. All the best for learning the Kalimba :)
my Kalimba is brand new and I am struggling a little.
I will figure it out.
Can i know with what app do you tune your klaimba?
Very good!!!
Have one
MORE SCALES PLEASE
Are there any other kalimba exercises but harder? For example with two notes at the same time
I plan to carry on this 'series' with videos on intermediate tutorials and advanced tutorials :)
