Rocket Man – Elton John

Released in 1972, “Rocket Man” is one of Elton John’s most popular and loved songs – I’ve been working on it for a while!

It’s a great one for beginner and intermediate musicians to practice on any instrument, I found it really fun to play on the flute – qI hope you enjoy it too 🙂
