A collection of popular tunes for flute and piccolo – some new, some old.
Imagine – John Lennon
“Imagine” was the best-selling hit of John Lennon’s solo career after his time with The Beatles and was co-produced with Yoko Ono. I discovered that this song sounds a lot better at 1.25x speed (a setting youtube kindly provides) and makes it much more challenging and fun to play π Imagine – John Lennon was […]
Somethin’ Stupid – Frank Sinatra
“Somethin’ Stupid” is best known by Frank Sinatra and his daughter Nancy. It was covered by Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman in 2001 – the first and only time a father-daughter duo reached number #1. Somethin’ Stupid – Frank Sinatra was last modified: March 3rd, 2018 by nat
It Must Have Been Love – Roxette
The chart-toppingΒ 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 π 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.Β 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 π At least it is fun to play on the flute π Mad World – Tears […]
I Won’t Last A Day Without You – The Carpenters
“I Won’t Last A Day Without You” has been performed by many big names such as Diana Ross, Barbara Streisand, Andy Williams and Ronan Keating, however the popular version everyone knows is by The Carpenters. Anything sung by Karen Carpenter always gets my voteΒ π I Won’t Last A Day Without You – The Carpenters was […]
2 Become 1 – Spice Girls
The 3rd hit single by the Spice Girls became an international hit. Quite a tricky one to play as there are lots of switches between C and D, and they happen pretty fast. Also goes down to low C so not one for the piccolo. 2 Become 1 – Spice Girls was last modified: April […]
Sleeping Satellite – Tasmin Archer
Originally performed by Tasmin Archer, “Sleeping Satellite” has been covered many times (google tells the version by “Kim Wilde” is also popular :P) and wasΒ an international hit. A great beginner peace, slow and easy. Notes below, enjoy π Sleeping Satellite – Tasmin Archer was last modified: February 10th, 2018 by nat
