Released for the 1997 animated film “Anastasia” (a Fox Animation production, not Disney!) and is sung by Liz Callaway in the movie.

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 […]
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 π Auld Lang Syne – Traditional was last modified: February 10th, 2018 by nat
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
