Tale as Old as Time – Beauty and Beast (Disney)
The key piece from Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast”, “Tale as Old as Time” is deceptively low and quite tricky to play, so makes a great practice piece for intermediates. On the flute / piccolo / recorder, I found it most comfortable to play this shifted up +7 semitones, so the note range is D-^G […]

A sweet lullaby-style song sung by the young Cosette in the stage play and feature film, Les Misérables. It’s a lovely simple melody with a small range, making it perfect for beginners.

Never Enough – The Greatest Showman
More from the new film The Greatest Showman, this song “Never Enough” is a lovely, simple ballad which I’ve written as simply as possible to help out beginners! It goes quite low, so could be make a great practice piece for beginner pianists or guitar/ukulele, aiding note recognition. Woodwinds may need to shift the key […]
Colors of the Wind – Pocahontas (Disney)
A lovely, low tune to practice – “Colours of the Wind” is the main song from the Disney film Pocahontas. I particularly enjoyed this one on flute, it (nearly) sounds lovely! Beginners, piccolos and recorders may need to shift the notes up a bit to play comfortably, pianists should have no problem. Enjoy! Colors of […]
