Watch this song played
Home on the Range is the official state song of Kansas and the quintessential anthem of the American frontier spirit. Its broad, sweeping melody — evoking wide open skies and deer-dotted plains — resonates with exceptional warmth on a steel tongue drum. The gentle waltz meter and long melodic phrases make for a satisfying, unhurried easy-level piece.
How to play Home on the Range on a tongue drum
The numbers above are the standard tongue-drum number notation. Each digit is a note of the C Major scale, counting up from the lowest tongue. A dot above a number raises it one octave; a dot below lowers it. The small teal letters show the matching key in the Tongue Drum Online player.
Start slowly, one phrase at a time. Let each note ring out fully before striking the next — the long decay is the whole character of the instrument. This is a easy arrangement and a simplified, single-instrument version of Home on the Range.
