Prima Donna – Phantom of the Opera
One of my favourites from Phantom of the Opera, “Prima Donna” is the bit where they’re trying to keep Carlotta happy and some of the lyrics are just silly π A lovely tune which is great fun to play – i’m not sure i’ll ever master the fast Andre/Firmin bit at the end, perhaps you […]

I’ve done Zombie already, so there are a couple for you to enjoy now π It goes fairly high pitched, so may be easier for beginners to play an octave down (instrument-dependent!) or to shift the key around a bit.
