Dobre dla totalnych muzycznych laików

Owszem. Wprowadza w teorię i podstawy gry na flecie w stylu NAF, ale zawiera w sobie sporo tematów, które każdy, kto przeszedł trzy klasy w PSM I stopnia ma opanowane na pewno

Best introduction to the Native American Style Flute!

This is the best introduction to the NASF I have ever seen. In addition to providing all the basics and encouragement on how to play from the heart, included are details for more advanced music that can be played on these wonderful instruments. I learn more each time I pick up this book.
