"Song Book for the Native American Flute"

Now available in "Nakai TABlature" with "fingering guides" and "rhythm indicators".

Historically the beauty and musical "magic" of the Native American flute was known by many.  It enabled the player to use the breath to imitate the sounds of nature and to express the feelings of the heart.  There was no formal written music language.  The art of playing was simply passed down from one person to another.

Once players learned to sustain long tones and cover the holes, they were encouraged to create their own musical language.  Some players were more successful with this process than others.

The "Song Book of the Native American Flute" was written to aid each player in the creative process and to provide a rich resource of original music for the instrument.
