and play it well, this learning package is for you. No music background
is required. All the tunes are written in an easy to read
tablature, (music notation that anyone can understand),
whether you know anything about formal music notation or
not. Regardless of what kind of 6-hole flute you own, and
regardless of what key it's in, (C, D, E, F, F#, G, A, it
makes absolutely no difference), you will be able to play
the tunes in this book. You'll learn to play Native American
tunes, religious and inspirational tunes, and familiar folk tunes. You'll
learn how to play the blues in the Pentatonic scale as well as classical music, children's tunes, Christmas carols, and music from many cultures. And
you'll learn how to use your flute for meditation. It's
all here, on this CD.

THE FLUTE IS YOUR STARSHIP:
Do you hunger for the great outdoors? Do you like to visit the
mysterious deep woods--at least in spirit? Even a visit to the park
with our kids can be a welcome respite from the everyday stress of our
responsibilities. And even some who might not be physically comfortable
camping out in a tent find they can still deeply connect with the
spirit nature provides. What's important is that we know how to
transport ourselves there in some way, even if it's not practical for
us to physically go there. Is there really a way to take ourselves into
this most beautiful of places--a place where we can refresh ourselves.
Even emotionally heal ourselves? Yes! A perfect way to visit the place
of our heart is to simply sit with our beautiful Native American flute
and play. Play your kids, (or even yourself), into a healing,
meditative state with a soft rendition of Brahms Lullaby. Or you might
want to lose yourself in the blues. You can let your soul take flight
on the wings of a tune played in the meditative style of the Native
American flute. Or maybe play an American folk tune or a Celtic tune
while your friends sing along. The flute is like a starship; it's a
magic chariot that can take you to the stars and beyond. It can take
you to the very edge of the universe. But first you need to know how to
fuel it up and fly it. The book and learning system, Earth Flute, will help you earn your starship license. Do you want to learn to fly? Flight is just a mouse click away....

REVIEWS: |
I found the Earth Flute CD to be very easy to follow with the directions and jammed packed with information.
I
really liked the different categories of music, Christmas, Folk,
Classic and especially the Blues (Goin to Chicago was my favorite).
I think the CD will be good for the beginner and worth it just for the songs with the experienced player (which I am not). Reviewed by Randy Keys |
I
like the stacks, (Randy is describing the HyperStudio tutorials),
because it has a lot of info in them which would be good for the
beginner. The interactive parts are nice to where you can click on a
flute to hear the different keys. The videos are a nice touch too…After
watching you on video and emailing you lately it's almost like I know
you. That video will be nice for the beginners to learn from you. I can
tell just from the little bit I watched that you really get into
playing your flute. I can see it in your face.
Nice
chatting with you again Dick and I want to thank you again for the CD.
I'm sure I'll have years of enjoyment from it. It's something I play
more at our hunting camp in the upper peninsula of Michigan. We have 80
acres up there in the middle of the woods. (We use) gas lights or a
deep cycle battery with an inverter for a brighter light. We haul our
own water, have a wood cook stove and we have a box stove for heat,
although we usually use a propane stove for cooking. It's like going
back in time and the flute just seems to fit in, in that type of
atmosphere. Then again I had to teach myself to play the guitar and
harp so I wouldn't go stir crazy at night up there. Especially in deer
season when it's dark when I come in from my blind. I start going up
there at the end of May when the snows all gone and with luck the black
flies too…It's about 300 miles from our house so when I go, I like to
go for a 1½ - 2 weeks. Now that I'm retired out of the shop I can do
that. I retired young so I can enjoy life a little…. Reviewed by Randy Armstrong |

IMPORTANT:
This book is very complex in layout. There are many pages of tablature,
(the music you can play on your flute), as well as graphic elements
throughout. For that reason this ebook is available in PDF, only.
(It's the only format you'll need.) When you receive your book,
you can read it in the free Acrobat Reader application that's
downloadable from adobe.com, or from
Acrobat Reader you can print the book (recommended) so you can use
it like any other paper instruction book you might have purchased
in the past. The mp3 files that
come with this book are playable on your computer, your digital
player like the iPod, your iPad, or you can burn a playable CD.

Author BIO: Dick
Claassen has been a musician since a very young age. He began
his musical life with piano lessons, and he hated to practice.
The sound of the piano just didn't intrigue him enough to
make him want to practice. Even so, the piano gave Dick good
training in chord structure and melody line.
When Dick was in high school he began the exploration of the
guitar, eventually putting his efforts into the classical
guitar. That experience was very satisfying, because Dick
had found an instrument he truly loved. Soon, though, Dick
began to explore the 5-string banjo, finger picking his way
to Nervana. :-) Then he explored the blues harp, (harmonica
played in a bluesy way). Not satisfied with having enough
musical things to do, he explored the dulcimer, learning to
finger pick it like he did the guitar and banjo.
Now Dick is exploring the Native American flute. He instantly
fell in love with the beautiful tone of the instrument, and
playing the flute was as satisfying as all the other instruments
he had learned to play. But Dick still wasn't satisfied. He
found that there really weren't that many instruction books
for the NAF. So he decided to write his own. He just finished
writing the flute tablature book, Earth
Flute.
Dick has spent most of his life as a teacher, teaching math
and chemistry students at the college level, and teaching
banjo and guitar to anyone who wanted his expertise. Dick
has written two math textbooks for Houghton Mifflin, numerous
magazine articles, and eleven novels for Awe-Struck E-Books. |
