Mo Li Hua — 'Jasmine Flower' — is a centuries-old Chinese folk song celebrated worldwide as a symbol of Chinese musical heritage. Its graceful pentatonic melody blooms beautifully on the steel tongue drum (handpan), each note ringing like a chime in a summer garden. The flowing phrase structure is accessible yet expressive, perfect for early intermediate players.
How to play Mo Li Hua (Jasmine Flower) on a tongue drum
The numbers above are the standard tongue-drum number notation. Each digit is a note of the C Major Pentatonic 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 Mo Li Hua (Jasmine Flower).
