As for those who've never played, Shepard provides a good compass for beginning your own musical journey." -- Linda Dailey Paulson, Dirty Linen, Oct./Nov. 2000 ///////////////////////////////////////////////// CONTENTS Preface, by Paul Horn Introduction Part 1 ~ FLUTE LORE The World Family of Flutes The Story of the Western Flute Part 2 ~ SELECTION AND CARE Finding Your Flute Caring for Your Flute Part 3 ~ FLUTE TECHNIQUE Embouchure and Breath Posture Playing Notes More About Embouchure and Breath Fingering Technique Tuning Advanced Techniques Special Effects Part 4 ~ MAKING MUSIC Scales and Chords Playing by Ear Reading Music Living Music Part 5 ~ MODERN FOLK FLUTES Finding a Folk Flute Caring for a Folk Flute Playing a Folk Flute APPENDIX How the Flute Works Miscellaneous Fingering Charts Reading List
