TWO BOOKS FOR ONE PRICE! If you've ever wanted to play the 6-hole Native American flute, and play it well, these books are for you. (You get both books in this set.) No music background is required. All the tunes are written in an easy to read tablature, (music notation that anyone can understand), whether you know anything about formal music notation or not. Regardless of what kind of 6-hole flute you own, and regardless of what key it's in, (C, D, E, F, F#, G, A, it makes absolutely no difference), you will be able to play the tunes in these books. In Jump-Start Flute you'll learn to play Native American type tunes after being introduced to the Pentatonic scale, the easiest to play scale on the flute. The Christmas carol book shows you how to play carols on any 6-hole Native American flute. It's all here, in these two books. NOTE: The tablatures in this book are for a 6-hole flute, only. If you own a 5-hole flute, you might consider purchasing an inexpensive 6-hole flute so you can access this book.

JUMP-START FLUTE: Picture yourself sitting around a campfire with your friends. You are far out in the woods, away from noisy civilization. The fire cracks and pops, and all are content as they find themselves literally melding with nature. Now you reach into your backpack and pull out your beautiful Native American flute. You blow a few soft notes. The children, nestled in the arms of their parents, sleep peacefully. Now you add some structure to the tune you've started. The notes are sweet as they weave themselves among the smoke and blissful life-giving heat. Before you realize it, you are becoming one with the flute. Those around the campfire are gently taken to a new place, a new space. Any tension that may have been present in any of you dissipates as the beautiful melody of the flute encircles and embraces you.

Of course, you can play the flute in any setting—not just around a campfire. You can play the flute for your children, your lover, your friends, your pet. Your beautiful music may even calm down an enemy or two. <g> And it doesn't matter if you're sitting around a campfire, or out on your patio, because the flute will perform its magic on you and everyone around you, regardless of the setting. All you have to do is play it. And that's what Jump-Start Flute will do for you. It will take you from knowing absolutely nothing about the flute, to playing it with expertise and authority, and with that expertise you will experience a great peace. Even if you've never played any kind of musical instrument before, you can play the flute. Not all of us have the potential to be great musicians. Not all of us are physically gifted so the instrument we choose to play becomes putty in our skilled grasp. And not all of us have the musical imagination to compose our own tunes from scratch. But this doesn't mean we can't enjoy the instrument we might choose to play. Countless enthusiastic people who have wanted to make music have undoubtedly muttered to themselves in frustration, "If I could just find a good book to show me how, I'd be a terrific musician." If you have had these same thoughts, this book is what you've been looking for.

Bottom line? Jump-Start Flute is the perfect introduction to playing the NAF in the Native American way.
