So very very very basic, best for very extreme beginner. Very little information shared.

In time, I think I will be able to play & actually make music! Instructions seemed clear & concise & easy to follow along. I liked the layout of the presentations. I'm looking forward to many hours of learning & playing music!

Great course, very complete for those who want to learn native flute. I like the fact that author is generous to give background tracks to practice and a song book.

Awesome job. I had tried to learn from a lesson book that also included a video and got frustrated with it, as it was more concerned on reading music. This course was explained much clearer and easier. I love the downloads that were included. The only problem I see is, some of the songs in the songbook download included a half covered note in the tablature. This technique was not included in the lesson. That is why I gave this course 4 1/2 stars instead of 5.

Repetitive but thorough information. Will update when we get to actually playing the flute :)

No not really. I already knew everything

Very thorough course. I would have liked to get some information on where to get songbooks.

By Elizabeth LEHMANN on 2/6/2020

I loved the fact that the course included all the notes, song book and a lot of extra effort in making the course a success. It will take a lot of effort. I especially found it refreshing that he gave the price of what a flute costs. I now know that what I had was more of a toy and I invested on a good flute based on his recommendations. It will take a lot a practice but I understand all the concepts and they work (even on my toy flute). They look beautiful but it was not an instrument.

I wish there were more video demonstrations.
