## Summary

**Easy Otamatone Songbooks**

The video explains how beginners can quickly start playing the Otamatone using practice sheets or song books that show exactly where to press on the stem, making it easy to play even without musical experience. It also promotes downloadable PDFs and Amazon song collections, including a general set of easy tunes and a Christmas bundle with 16 songs each. The creator demonstrates the method with “Jingle Bells” and notes that the instrument sounds better when one hand holds and squeezes the mouth while the other presses the notes.

The video promotes Otamatunes, a set of printable and physical practice sheets that make the Otamatone easy to play by matching finger presses to numbered notes on the page. The main idea is that beginners, even people with no musical experience, can start playing songs immediately by following the numbers instead of reading music.

It also highlights two product collections: a general easy-songs bundle and a Christmas bundle, each with 16 songs. The presenter says the method is especially useful for gifts or for kids, since it lowers the barrier to learning and lets users play recognizable tunes very quickly.

### Using Practice Sheets to Start Playing Otamatone Songs Quickly

One of the easiest ways to play an Otamatone is to use a practice sheet where you just put your instrument down and press the stem where it tells you. It is a way that people can start playing songs on the Otamatone almost instantly, even if they have no musical experience.

We have a website where you can download PDFs that you can print as practice sheets. We also just released collections on Amazon, both for normal songs like **Hot Cross Buns** and **Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star**, and so on. We also just released a Christmas bundle with **Jingle Bell**, **Silent Night**, and things like that.

### How the Song Sheets Work

If you open up the book and flip to one of the pages, let’s say the top **Jingle Bell** one, all you do is set down your instrument on it. I am filming this, so I cannot open the mouth of the Otamatone at the same time, and I can just press with one hand.

The idea is that you just press the numbers that match the notes. So even if you cannot really read the notes, if you can read the numbers, like if you are buying this as a present for a kid, you can just press the numbers in the right order and play the song.

> For example, **Jingle Bells**.

Of course, it sounds a lot better if you are not filming this and you are able to squeeze the mouth open with your left hand and also hold it into place so it keeps the alignment. So you usually hold with one hand and then press with the other.

### Available Bundles and Song Counts

We have **16 songs** in the Christmas bundle and **16 songs** in the general easy-songs-to-Otamatone collection. You can get started really, really fast.

Thanks for watching, and hope you enjoy.
