Tchaikovsky's March from The Nutcracker (1892) opens Act I with a bright, toy-soldier energy that has enchanted audiences for over a century. On a steel tongue drum its crisp, staccato phrases and playful dynamic contrasts come alive with a light, bell-like charm. A recognizable holiday classic that is fun to play and brings an instant smile to any listener.

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 March (Nutcracker Suite) — Tchaikovsky.
