Bilbo's Transcription Archive

Bilbo · April 4, 2019

I was asked for an old transcription that I had previously posted on here before one of the upgrades and I realised that so many of them are getting increasingly hard to locate on here so I thought I would post them in one place so that people could find them if they wanted to have a look. I hope you find some use for them in your efforts to LEARN TO READ MUSiC The tunes with an E against them are easy to read (maybe not at the tempo of the performance but in terms of learning to read music which is the whole point of these).
