これらの童謡が練習に思いのほか適しているのには、以下の理由があります

まず第一に、最初の5曲は最も簡単な曲かつ指使い表つきのため、各音をどのように弾けばいいのかがわかります。

第二に、29曲の童謡全てが6から12の違う調で書かれています。同じ曲を違う調で練習することで、シャープやフラットを使ったCodaの2オクターブ全域を学ぶ一番の近道となるのです。

最後に、調は簡単な調から徐々に難しい調へと移行していますので、初心者は簡単な調で練習でき、上級者は全調に挑戦してみることができます。

いくつかの童謡は日本の曲ではありませんが、日本でなじみのある曲ばかりなので曲集に加えてあります。

Here are a few reasons why you might find these folk songs surprisingly helpful.

First of all, the first 5 songs are the easiest and also include tabs, or fingering diagrams, which show you how to play each note.

Secondly, each of the 29 songs is repeated in 6 to 12 different keys. Playing songs in several keys is an engaging fast track to mastering Coda’s entire two-octave range with all the sharps and flats.

Finally, the keys are graded from easier to more difficult so that newbies can stick to the first one or two keys while more advanced players can take on the challenge of playing them all.

By the way, even though some of these folk songs are not of Japanese origin, we’ve included them because they are so well-known in Japan.

In order to better support our extended family, we moved from Connecticut to Georgia in 2024. As a result, we’ve had to put our business on hold for the time being. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you! Our hope is to return to the market in 2025 with new, improved products, but only time will tell.🙂
