In Holland Staat een Huis (In Holland Stands a House) is one of the Netherlands' most popular folk children's songs, featuring a cat, a canary, and a little house in Holland. On steel tongue drum its neat, skipping melody rings out with charming Dutch simplicity, each phrase clear and bright. The modest range and friendly tempo make it very approachable for beginners. A delightful window into Dutch folk musical culture.
How to play In Holland Staat een Huis 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 beginner arrangement and a simplified, single-instrument version of In Holland Staat een Huis.
