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 videos to assist you in your learning.

Please feel free to comment any requests, feedback and constructive criticism.

Thank you for reading and have a good day!

Best of luck learning 'Story Of My Life' by One Direction on the keyboard, piano, flute or whatever instrument you're playing the song on.
