Shalom Chaverim — 'Farewell Friends' — is a classic Hebrew round sung as a parting song at Jewish gatherings, its three-voice canon structure built on a simple, memorable melody. On the steel tongue drum its gentle, circular phrasing has a warm finality — each note ringing clearly in the air like a parting blessing. The accessible stepwise melody makes it ideal for beginner players.
How to play Shalom Chaverim 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 beginner arrangement and a simplified, single-instrument version of Shalom Chaverim.
