Thank you very much! I am an Indonesian, speak Kupang (local language), try to learn an African musical instrument, listen in Chinese, read in English, and I understand well. Life is so beautiful if we want to learn something new like this ;-)
I literally discovered this instrument today from an add on Facebook and instantly thought "I NEED this!" It's coming tomorrow and this video helped a lot, as someone who is a first timer this instrument has an interesting play style and after guitar and ocarina I know how weird playing new instruments can be when your not used to it. Thanks to that video I think I understand the notes much better now and will find it easier to adapt! Thanks April! :)
Thank you April for these lessons! They are very helpful! And I am a fan of you :) when I purchased the gecko kalimba I saw you on the booklet and I got so excited!!
honestly I am so thankful that I started piano lessons at the age of five it has helped me learn and understand many instruments xD, that's ten years of music wow. Anyways I can only play four but I'm researching new instruments and I really like the sound of the kalimbas
@@adodo8221 i started violin since kindergarten buut my mom switched schools and my new school didn't have any music lessons/classes which sucked, i love music and wish i could at least know how to play an instrument
Thank you for this video, I bought a kalimba last month and didn’t really know what to do but thanks to your lessons, I learn something. More kalimba lessons in the future and your tabs! Keep it up!
Thank you, this is very informative. My daughter wants a Kalimba and we're eyeing this pretty red kalimba on Amazon (Slint brand). It has 17 keys and made of Mahogany. She can't wait to try them.
It's the first time I see this instrument. RUclips associated my search and reproductions to your videos. I want one now. I'm from Venezuela and Colombia is my second country.
Hello April !!! I would love to receive tips on more lessons and lessons from Kalimba, I am loving your videos and have already sent you a request on WeChat. I would love to be able to play my favorite song, and to see you play it too! "The moving castle"❤️❤️ please, play this beautiful song for us❤️🌈
Today I just inboxed my very first Kalimba which is a Dual Kalimba April Yang. And comes with a black speaker. I also chose walnut. It's so pretty! But there was no picture of April Yang in it. And I also seem to be missing the WHITE USB PORT to plug charging cable into. So now what do I do? Lol!!! What kind of charging port is that and how can I get it? And there was only one set of stickers in it. I seem to remember watching a RUclips unboxing of the same Kalimba I have and there was extra sticks. Nothing was on it but it was yellow. I wondered if it was to place on top of the tines like a black and red sticker I've sometimes seen on a kalimba to put on 5 different keys and then put the number/ letter clear sticker on top of it. I guess it's suppose to make it easier to follow. But I didn't see any black or red stickers. Should I go somewhere online to find some other stickers? Also there was only 1 set of stickers for the Kalimba and it shows numbers on it. Not any actual letters like I've seen on other Kalimbas. So I don't know what letters each key is or if I should go somewhere to buy the letters for it. I did see somebody on RUclips that put red short tabs on 5 different key tunes on their Kalimba and then they placed all their clear key stickers on there and whenever they reached the tine that had a red sticker on it that placed the key and letter tab on top of that. My manual is written in Chinese it even came with a song book. It's all useless to me cause it's written in Chinese. Is there a good beginners booklet to get that will show me what I need to know about my Kalimba? And hopefully one that comes with a DVD tutorial? I taught myself how to play Ukulele 4 years ago just by watching RUclips video tutorials. But I don't know why the only stickers I got is numbers. Ugh! I don't understand how I'm suppose to learn songs if it says letters and all I have is numbers. My Kalimba is suppose to be in key C. And the stickers are just numbers but I need to know what letters need to be on there too that did NOT come with the pkg. Honestly I'm very frustrated it didn't come with the letters and just left me a beginner in the dark... Seriously it's all new too me. I don't know how to read music for piano or Kalimba. I ONLY know how to read tabs for Guitar or Ukulele. That is so much easier. This looks to be more difficult. Atleast others have letters AND numbers and a proper guide. I dont... Not sure what to do... Frustrated with it already. Lol The Kalimba is very beautiful but I see this is going to be more challenging then I thought. Cause I don't even know what to look out for or when a buzzing happens what to do to get rid of the buzzing It seems there is just alot of different things too it. I don't know how to properly use the hammer to tune. And what digital tuner is the best to buy for my Kalimba? And what key did it come in? That's another thing. What good does a digital tuner do me when I don't even know what each key it's suppose to be. Honestly learning Ukulele was a thousand times faster. I was already playing 5 songs in my first week after getting my first Ukulele. Cause it was easy to learn and follow. I clearly underestimated the Kalimba...
If I’m supposed to place the stickers in the order that they are already in, does it matter if B1 is my center, instead of C1? My numbers are different, and I’m confused
I just got a kalimba and I've been setting it up, the stickers are not in that order. The letter and number are matched different, I had to cut them in half and rearrange them.
Hi, April. Do you only play in the scale of C major? It means that kalimba hasn't got the # and b notes (C#, D#, F#, G#, A#, and their own b). Isn't it? I need to know it because I want to buy a Kalimba but I need all the notes with # and b.
I am in the USA and speak English.. Why does her tutorials only play in Chinese on my RUclips? Unfortunately I don't speak Chinese so can not use her information.
She even put a translation for us🤩❤❤
hahahahahaha
I am definitely falling in love with April yet it's still march!
LMAOO
I’m speaking French, I'm listening in Chinese, I'm reading in English and I'm understanding so well lmao
Y A M I K O omg me too LMFAO
you're a french dude (girl?) listening in chinese reading in english on how to play an african music instrument, isn't that ironic? hahaha
Such a flex.
Yes we humans are very known for our flexing 빵 🍞
Wait...the Kalimba’s African? I’m from Algeria 𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎ℎℎℎ
Thank you very much!

Hi, I am from Brazil and I just wanted to thank you for taking time to share this! 🇧🇷 I'll be always grateful! ❤️
I never expect that I learn Kaliba by Chinese!!
I'm going to get my Kalimba by Jan 17th! Glad that these tutorials have come at the right time! 😍😍
How you doing with your "not so new now" kalimba that you bought... Am bit curious 😅😅😅
Sindhu D., so, hows it been?
Mine arrived yesterday! :)
what type of kalimba should i get? i m a totally new beginner
@@melodychua2702 I advice you to buy kalimba with sound hole
I am also a beginner but I have done many research on kalima.
Two in one - kalimba and Chinese lessons (whether it's Mandarin or Cantonese).
It is Mandarin
Mandarin is usually more slower than Cantonese, in case that helps.
Piet Jenniskens That is false and completely subjective. The rate of speech depends on the individual. Neither one is faster than the other
@@pietjenniskens3759 objection! My grandmother speaks mandarin faster than anyone could ever be
laxplyr1982 Yep, that is totally true, but as a non-native speaker of Chinese, Cantonese is rapid-fire to me.

Ohh, I'm learning kalimba now during MCO period. Thank you April! Now I'm polishing my Chinese too 😂 2in1 learning package
Beautiful！Why no one commented that she is beautiful？😊
Because it's obvious and people are trying to be sexist pricks.
thank you so much, now i know what the dots are used for 🥳
I really love April way of teaching although I am understanding Chinese little by little, hey I am with you April.
Thanks you, Sifu!! 🤩
Thank you very much for the subtitle... you really explain well.
Thank you so much for this! I was completely lost with the instrument when I got it, it really helped me ❤
thank you , it helps a lot for someone without music background like me
I’m getting a Donner kalimba and I’m really excited! It’s my first one so I hope it’s good!
honestly I am so thankful that I started piano lessons at the age of five it has helped me learn and understand many instruments xD, that's ten years of music wow. Anyways I can only play four but I'm researching new instruments and I really like the sound of the kalimbas
so you're around 15 now then? wow I wish I could start learning music at that early age too, would make things so easier
@@iliketotalkalot05 ikr I started lessons in 1st grade but quit. it really helped when I started playing the violin in 4th grade.
@@adodo8221 i started violin since kindergarten buut my mom switched schools and my new school didn't have any music lessons/classes which sucked, i love music and wish i could at least know how to play an instrument

So the stress we put on the tines are delivered by our nails? Bcos i heard the scratching sounds

Interesting. I was wondering if you needed to tune it.
iomoon you do
Idol
how do i produce a sharp or flat notes in kalimba?
You could push the tine higher for a sharp and lower for a flat, while using a tuner to be accurate.
i thought i could produce those notes by pressing two tines at a time hehe thanks
