About Me
These notes can be used to play the song of many instruments
including the flute, keyboard, recorder, piano and musical keyboard.
The
piano/keyboard I use is a Casio CTK 240 Electric keyboard which is very basic
but works brilliantly for beginners.
All of my posts are of the letter/alphabetical
notes for many popular songs including current pop, rock, nursery rhymes and
classical pieces.
I also have a YouTube channel (Called "Mint Music") where I make video lessons/tutorials to assist
you in your learning.
Please feel free to comment any requests, feedback and
constructive criticism.
You can also email me at simplycharlotte11@gmail.com .
Thank you for reading and have a good day!
Best of luck learning the song,
Mint Music x
