“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 […]
Auld Lang Syne – Traditional
“Auld Lang Syne” as we know and sing today is an adaptation of a poem by Robert Burns. Sure it’s not new year yet, but always a good one to play, at new year or christmas 😀 Auld Lang Syne – Traditional was last modified: February 10th, 2018 by nat
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 vote 🙂 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 […]
Edelweiss – Rodgers and Hammerstein

Zombie – The Cranberries
A wonderfully powerful song from “The Cranberries” which hit number 1 across Europe! Another catchy one, it’s been in my head for dayyyys 😀 Also, check out the cover by Breed 77, very cool 🙂 A popular track to play around Halloween!
