1980-1990
Flute notes for songs written in the 80’s!
Prima Donna – Phantom of the Opera
One of my favourites from Phantom of the Opera, “Prima Donna” is the bit where they’re trying to keep Carlotta happy and some of the lyrics are just silly π A lovely tune which is great fun to play – i’m not sure i’ll ever master the fast Andre/Firmin bit at the end, perhaps you […]
Walk Like An Egyptian – The Bangles
The catchy Bangles tune “Walk Like An Egyptian” has simpler notes in it than i realised, it seems it’s just the speed/rhythm of the tune which makes it a bit tricky to play – a good challenge that i’m enjoying trying to master, I hope you enjoy it too π Walk Like An Egyptian – […]
Memory – Andrew Lloyd Webber (Cats)
Having been performed by Elaine Paige, Barbra Streisand, Susan Boyle, Sarah Brightman, Barry Manilow, Shirley Bassey and many others, ‘Memory’ is an iconic tune that people know without having seen the play it’s from, ‘Cats’ the musical!

All I Ask of You – Phantom of the Opera

Earth Song – Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson’s “Earth Song” (the one with the really catchy vocal melody in the chorus!) was one of MJ’s many charitable songs, raising awareness of environmental issues and animal welfare. It was received well world-wide, particularly so in Europe, going Platinum in Austria, Germany Switzerland and the UK. I hope you enjoy the notes below […]
Into the Groove – Madonna
A catchy Madonna track to play – lots of low C’s and the odd slur make “Into the Groove” a great practice for beginners on any instrument. I hope you enjoy the music notes below π Into the Groove – Madonna was last modified: April 29th, 2018 by nat
Human Nature – Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson’s 1982 hit, “Human Nature” is known worldwide and has been covered by many artists including Stevie Wonder, Chris Brown, John Mayer, Miles Davis, Jason Nevins and many others.

Do You Hear The People Sing? – Les Miserables
The catchy rebellion tune from Les Mis, “Do You Hear The People Sing?” is trickier to play than first anticipated! A great challenge for beginners π Do You Hear The People Sing? – Les Miserables was last modified: April 15th, 2018 by nat
