David Harp

3 Minutes to Flute: Jazz, Celtic, Classical, Blues, Rock, Folk (With Cd) David Harp Pck edition

As David points out in the introduction, "If you can talk and tap your fingers, you can play the flute." David then offers a three minute lesson on the basics, after which the reader is ready to play a simple piece in his or her chosen style of music: Blues, Rock, or Folk, Celtic or Classical! And doing this along with the playalong CD?s accompaniment sounds great!
It seems impossible: Can one really play flute, and sound good, so quickly? But David has toured the country training groups to do just that, and has honed his teaching skills to a remarkably effective degree! The reader will quickly master Chicago Blues and Celtic Airs, "Rappin?" Blues and jazz melodies — without needing to "read music" at all. Using David?s amazingly simple audio-visual method, within just a few hours readers will develop a repertoire ranging from Beethoven?s Ninth to Saint James Infirm?ry, from Danny Boy to Oh When the Saints, from Greensleeves to House of the Rising Sun!
Appendices on Jamming with Others, Playing by Ear, Reading Standard Music Notation, and Moving Up to Saxophone, Clarinet, or Silver Flute add depth to this surprisingly comprehensive method.
