Enjoying the Native American-Style Flute

The book is well-illustrated with color photos and diagrams of how flutes are made, of their sound chambers, scales and tuning. There is ample information on the different types of flutes, wooden, cane or plastic, with suggestions to help select and purchase a flute. There are chapters on the fundamentals of playing, making, and caring a flute. As a starter, music is given for three favorite tunes. The reference section lists useful books, internet sites, flute companies, and instructional books, CDs and videos. The book is well organized and easy to read and understand
