good teaching tool for learning to play the American Indian flute
This is a very enjoyable, readable book with lots of diverse information about American Indian flutes and has many options for playing as well as many interesting and delightful songs to play.I have thoroughly enjoyed this music book.I like the picture of Kokopelli on the cover.

Great Book for Understanding and Playing the Native American Flute
This book provides a great overview and promotes complete understanding of the Native American Flute. It provides considerable detail in how the flute works and how to play the flute. There are plenty of practice charts for learning to key the notes and for learning to play songs. Further, it provides techniques for both beginning and advanced flute players. This is an excellent book for anyone desiring to play the Native American Flute.

Mel Bay Flute Magic" An Introduction to the Native American Flute
This artist who wrote the book is an accomplish Native Americn Flute player.His book is very informative and it also comes with a CD that allows you to practice the techniques that he is teaching you.

Not what I expected
If you were expecting a book to learn how to build a flute, forget it. The book only glosses over history and construction.The book is basically a primer for a newbie that just wanted to learn about the Native American Flute and some suggestions as to how to play the new flute they purchased.If you want to learn how to build a flute get the Flute Shop.Not worth the trouble to return it. It at least has some good history lessons for the book shelf.

Good, but...
I rated this book with 3 stars because (1) it's not the most recent edition, (2) it's not spiral bound, and (3) if you want to hear the songs as played by the author, you have to buy not one, but two, CDs that come separately and are not even offered as options when you buy the book. Not much more is added in the newer edition, but it does come spiral bound, which is quite helpful when you're trying to keep the pages open to a particular song or exercise. Otherwise, there are lots of songs for 4-, 5-, and 6-hole Native American flutes, and the instruction is good. Recommended, with the above caveats. ... Read more
