Book Review: The Best Of the Best
Summary: 5 Stars
As a wooden flute maker, I am always interested in publications that will help myself and others learn how to play the Native American Flute [NAF]. This book was recommended to me by Scott August a professional NAF player and recording artist. Scott said this was the best book on the market to help someone learn how to play and understand the musicality of the NAF so I followed his suggestion and purchaced this volume. Mr. Vames is a music teacher with many years of teaching experience. He uses the skills and techniques of an educator to transfer his knowledge and experience to the student. This book is excellent in its design: diagrams, readability, progression and recorded songs on an interactive CD that comes with the book. I have other books with CD's that are wonderful but this book is a music text on how to play the NAF and demonstrations on the CD make it a real winner. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in being taught how to play the NAF, not just songs on a CD that provide auditory feedback. Superb!
