Free Sheet Music to Download
  

 
Dear                     free

 Here's your JB Linear Monthly Freebie.
  
This month's free sheet music is "Melodie", Op. 4 No. 2 by Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel for woodwind solos and piano. One piano part works for all of the solos which include flute, oboe, Bb clarinet, and alto sax. All parts are in the download, too. Fanny Mendelssohn was Felix Mendelssohn's older sister and a fine composer and performer.
 
 
Do you have difficult musical passages that drive you crazy?

Player's quinte* of the month:

 Be flexible enough to play music outside of your comfort zone; that applies equally to difficulty and to style.

 

 

 

 Have fun playing

 

 


Sincerely,


John Gibson
