After Frozen was released, I heard Anderson-Lopez and Lopez’s “Let It Go” very frequently in the music studio. I still hear it now and then. And get asked if we can learn it now and then. I wrote out a easy-to-read version for a beginner student back in 2014-ish; it …
Polly Willis is a song with a traditional title and operatic passages. It was written by Thomas Augustine Arne back in the 1700s. I got tired of marking the piano slurs after starting a few, so use your judgement if acompanying. This is arranged in E major, so the voice …
