About Me
These notes can be used to play the song on 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.
You can also email me at simplycharlotte11@gmail.com .
Thank you for reading and have a good day!
Bests of luck learning the song on the piano, keyboard, flute, and many other musical instruments! If you have any requests, comments or suggestions please leave them below.
