I always wanted to learn the play the flute. My
mother made me take clarinet lessons as a child but it never held the
appeal that the soothing, almost haunting beauty of the Native American
flute. I met John Vames, who wrote the book and teaches workshops on the
Native American flute. He showed me how simple it was to start making
beautiful sounds out of this lovely piece of wood. I am "musically
challenged" and was thrilled at how easy the book made it to learn to
play! Now, I will never play professionally, nor do I want to, but I can
play my flute and have it wash away the days stress and transport me to a
magical place! This is a fabulous starter package! I am very pleased to
offer it to you!
