These books are great for players of all skill levels and make for an excellent introduction to the kinds of music most befitting of the Native American Flute.Click to download the Native Flute Handbook. Wonderful quality work from a genuinely compassionate company. Now I can play beautiful authentic Native America music to my heart’s content Thank you Carol for your wonderful, well diagramed, beautiful music song books. I love to play my A, G, F#, D flutes, but need a finger chart song book to help me as I have no musical training, but love the sound, the history, and beauty of the NAF. Not all of us are musically talented or trained, so “ just playing the flute to your emotions or feelings” doesn’t work. The easy to read fingering diagrams are great for any level. Whether you play a Five hole flute or Six, you can easily make a few changes to accommodate either flute. All three are very good song books for the Native American Flute. I bought Earth Songs, Wind songs, and Other Songs. Love this so much, it is the second copy I have bought. If you are looking at these, don't hesitate. I am extremely happy with this seller and with the wonderful product. Bound by hand - with cute scteches on the front covers - a very organic and natural feel. Shipping was very fast! The books arrived in flawless condition. They sit perfectly on a music stand or just laid on a table or on the floor. The books are large and easily read from a few feet's distance, which is important with larger flutes. Even if I don't play the songs the way it is written exactly - it gives me new melodies and note combinations that lead me into new songs or variations of my own as I tend to play more freestyle. They give you the fingerings - so there is no need to read music - just play along. I LOVE my collection of flute music books! These books are great.
