Answer 1

Try searching the internet for the full score for that piece. It is popular so it is probably readily available. Either that or go to a music store to see if you can order a copy of solo music. Many companies specialize in taking famous pieces of music, Titanic, Star Trek, etc, and setting them up as solos for variouis instruments. There should be a copy for The Lion King (I would know, I play the flute). If purhasing the music is out of the question, then listen to it over and over, try to figure out the notes by playing scales first and seeing which one fits closest. Once you figure out the key signature it should be a matter of just listening to the piece while trying different notes. Ive learned plenty of songs using this method. It might take some patience, but eventually you will be playing the song.. and all of the extra practice wont hurt!

Answer 2

Just listen to it over and over. figure out what note it starts on, and then listen to figure out if the notes move up and down in steps ( like a Bb scale) or in skips. If you are new to playing, check your method book in the back for some scales. You'll probably have to use a fingering chart to learn the notes that you can't pick out using the scale.

Just enjoy listening and trying to copy the music. Play along with the download and eventually you'll get it. (You see guitar players do this all the time - they sit and play along over and over - It'll work for flutes too!)

Answer 3

Use your ears! Listen to it over and over until you can sing it with the right pitch and rhythm. Then match the notes with the flute. It's kinda slow at first but the more you do it the better you'll get. It's great ear training. If you don't need to right it down then your done.

Answer 4

You might want to learn playing the flute first. Then trial and error!

Answer 5

How could we possibly answer this question dude. Look on the internet for some notes, or ask someone who can actually show you. Seriously.
