Reviews and Comments for
Kokopelli's Flute: The Complete Guide to the Anasazi Flute

"The Complete Guide to the Native American Style Flute is fantastic. Got my copy on Friday and have been busy with it all weekend. Read it cover to cover, Scott has done a really fine job. If I was a flute teacher, I'd make this a required reading."
-William B .

"It's a great book for practice and reference. I am learning a lot from it. Every flute player, novice or noted, should have and use this book."
-Mack R.

"The chapter on basic composition is worth the cost of the whole book. [August has] filled a missing niche in the existing method books. Well done"
-Peter R.

"I have learned more in the first 29 pages than I have in the last 3 years of having a flute. I'm looking forward to reading and learning from this book." -Lewis E

"I have been practicing the exercises in your book and my flute playing is rapidly improving!"
-Ed S.

"Just received my copy....it is awesome! Worth 5*****'s!" [5 Stars]
