This is the UM66 music generator circuit, of course this circuit uses UM66 as the main component to generate the signal of music / melody. UM66 operates on a supply voltage of 3V. The required 3V supply is given through a zener regulator. The transistor Q1 and Q2 is a push pull amplifier to drive the loudspeaker, so the music signal from pin 1 IC UM66 can be heard loudly. A class A amplifier can be used before push pull amplifier to minimize the noise and improve the output sound quality. UM66 is a 3 pin IC package just looks like a BC547 transistor.
Components list:
R1 = 4.7K
C1 = 10uF-25v
D1 = 3.3v Zener
Q1 = SK100
Q2 = SL100
IC = UM66
SP = 8 ohm
UM66 Pin Configuration:
- Output : Melody Output
- +Vdd : Positive power supply
- -Vss : Negative Power supply
UM66T Features:
- Voltage rating: 1.3V to 3.3 V
- 62 Note ROM Memory
- Power on reset
About Audio Amplifier
An audio amplifier is an electronic amplifier that amplifies low-power audio signals (signals composed primarily of frequencies between 20 - 20 000 Hz, the human range of hearing) to a level suitable for driving loudspeakers and is the final stage in a typical audio playback chain.
The preceding stages in such a chain are low power audio amplifiers which perform tasks like pre-amplification, equalization, tone control, mixing/effects, or audio sources like record players, CD players, and cassette players. Most audio amplifiers require these low-level inputs to adhere to line levels.
While the input signal to an audio amplifier may measure only a few hundred microwatts, its output may be tens, hundreds, or thousands of watts. More explanation about power audio amplifier can be found at wikipedia.org

This is a video tutorial about how to a very simple audio amplifier based on the LM386 amplifier chip. It can be built for less than $20 (or might be less than $8 in some countries) and used to amplify any low level audio signal including a guitar, bass or mp3 player.
