Verbovaya Doschechka (The Willow Board) is a lilting Ukrainian folk song with a gentle, dance-like swing. Its short, graceful phrases arc neatly across the steel tongue drum's range, producing a delicate interlocking sound reminiscent of traditional kobzar music. The moderate tempo and clear melodic shape make it an ideal step up from beginner pieces. A charming window into Ukrainian village musical life.
How to play Verbovaya Doschechka 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 easy arrangement and a simplified, single-instrument version of Verbovaya Doschechka.
