The first of a bunch of Les Misérables songs to come! I’ve got a bit obsessed with this song recently, it’s so lovely and so sad 😛 But it makes a great piece for beginners to practice. I’ve enjoyed shifting it up a bit to play it on the flute – I hope you enjoy playing it, no matter what your instrument.
Did you know?! “A Little Fall of Rain” has also been performed by Lea Salonga who voices many of the Disney Princesses 🙂
