Learning to Play Again5
I had put down the flute for 19 years. This book is awesome for re-learning what I'd forgotten. It teaches slowly enough so it doesn't intimidate, but not too slowly that I get bored. Some of the early songs are fairly challenging (for me) and sound great once I finally get them right. I have enjoyed this book!!

The Best Beginning Flute Book!5
This is one amazing little book-as a beginning flute player in middle age with previous experience on classical guitar,this guide has outdone another method book I'd gotten even tho it came with a DVD. Lavishly illustrated,the author shows you how to get the best tone,how to hold the flute,how to get higher notes vs lower notes,and most important he explains the "why?' behind all of the proper way to do this or that. Easy to read diagrams make learning to read music a fun and delightful experience. Highly recommended!

Great book5
This is a great little book. It had been 30 years since I had played flute in college and I had forgotten many of the fingerings. With this book, I was back playing in a few hours. Money well spent.
