Subject: RE: an old TV series' score - Six Ribbons
We better back up some.

If you don't have MIDI software, the MIDI file isn't going to help. I believe you should do these things in the following order:

1. See if you can get hold of a flute, either by renting, borrowing from school or buying it.

2. See if you even like playing flute. Flutes look cool, but they can be hard to play.

3. If flute above doesn't work out, try recorder. If money is scarce, look at the prices of plastic instruments. They can be quite nice.

Once you have settled on an instrument and can play a scale, come back here, request the song again, and we'll see what we can do about posting something.

Meanwhile, are you Australian? I ask because 'Six Ribbons' comes from Australia. If so, check out that link (above) to the Trove site, which shows copies of the song in the National Library. Perhaps your local library can get a copy of the song from them on your behalf.
