FEATURES

PLAYER

Kalimbist's Player is an interactive web interface (no download required!) that helps you master your favorite kalimba songs faster. It does NOT require an account to use!
The Player is like a piano roll: Musical notes in form of rectangles slowly fall down and touch the tines to make sound. This alone will help you play your favorite song more precisely! Check out all available features here. Try Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star
Silent Night - First two measures

COMPOSER

A note with different duration visualized in the Composer
The Composer is another interactive interface for you to arrange / compose a new score. It allows you to put notes (in form of rectangles) with duration (presented as different sizes) into the "kalimba roll" so you can make a song of your liking in quickest time possible with little effort. It's more like a game (Tetris!) instead of too much music theory for you to begin with.
You can use this as a start to learn basics of music theory, or just forget about all those theories and make a score of your own.
You can also save your work online, publish and share it with other kalimba lovers. Published sheets are shown in Sheet List.
There are more features to be mentioned! Click here for details.
You can access the Composer by clicking the button below (an account and confirming email are required). Get creative now~!
