One of my all time favourite songs – if you don’t know it already please check it out, the story is lovely and the video is awesome 🙂 …it’s told through the eyes of a young boy, whose mad-scientist dad creates a machine which can control the weather, which ultimately gets confiscated by the government. Off her […]
1980-1990
Flute notes for songs written in the 80’s!
Total Eclipse of the Heart – Bonnie Tyler
Everyone’s favourite 80’s power ballad, here’s my guess at the letter notes for “Total Eclipse of the Heart”! Transcribed on the flute but good for piano, violin, trumpet, recorder, mandolin, whatever instrument 🙂 It’s a long song so i’ve picked out the fun bits – get ready to use that G# key! Total Eclipse of […]
I Want To Know What Love Is – Foreigner
Fantastically dodgy 80’s power-ballad – good piece for beginners on flute, piccolo or recorder. Did you know Mariah Carey did a cover of this too? ….yep…. 😛 I Want To Know What Love Is – Foreigner was last modified: March 3rd, 2018 by nat
Sacrifice – Elton John
A nice mellow tune to play, enjoy the letter notes for Elton John’s hit “Sacrifice” 🙂 Sacrifice – Elton John was last modified: February 10th, 2018 by nat
It Must Have Been Love – Roxette
The chart-topping lead song from the 1990 film “Pretty Woman” was originally release in in 1987 as a Christmas single. A good tune to practice low notes 🙂 It Must Have Been Love – Roxette was last modified: March 3rd, 2018 by nat
La Isla Bonita – Madonna
“La Isla Bonita” (the beautiful island) is a lovely song by Madonna with a strong Latino influence. It’s got more sharps and flats in it than regular notes though – i found it very challenging to work out the notes for, and then to play after!

Eternal flame – The Bangles
This global chart-topper was much trickier to work out the notes for than I thought, and also more challenging to play. It users low C a bunch of times throughout the song, great flute foot-joint practice! Eternal flame – The Bangles was last modified: April 21st, 2018 by nat
Mad World – Tears for Fears / Gary Jules
Originally by Tears for Fears, “Mad World” was later covered by Gary Jules – the notes are the same for both, however i’d recommend the Tears for Fears version, as the Gary Jules one may send you to sleep 😛 At least it is fun to play on the flute 😀 Mad World – Tears […]
Phantom of the Opera – Andrew Lloyd Webber
Written by Andrew Lloyd Webber as the main theme for his 1986 play “Phantom of the Opera”, this song has been covered by Nightwish (2002) then featured in the 2004 film. Phantom of the Opera – Andrew Lloyd Webber was last modified: April 14th, 2018 by nat
Woman in Love – Barbra Streisand
The award-winning hit “Woman in Love” from Barbra Streisand’s 1980 album “Guilty” was written by Barry and Robin Gibb (Bee Gees) and makes an awesome tune to play on flute or piccolo 🙂 Woman in Love – Barbra Streisand was last modified: February 10th, 2018 by nat
