Sakura Sakura is one of Japan's most beloved traditional melodies, evoking the gentle fall of cherry blossoms in spring. Played on a steel tongue drum, its pentatonic phrases drift like petals on a still breeze. The slow, meditative pace makes it an ideal first piece for beginners, yet its quiet beauty never loses its depth.
How to play Sakura Sakura 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 Sakura Sakura.
