About the Author

John Vames has been playing and teaching music professionally for over 40 years The focus of his teaching is not only to develop professional musicians but also to show students how to create and enjoy music the enrichment of their own lives. With his help hundreds of people of all ages have learned to play clarinet, sax, transverse flute, Native American Flute, Jazz and Classical piano. His friendship with the Native American Flute began in 1995 when he heard the sound. As an educator he realized how easy it was for almost anyone to play. Unlike piano or guitar that take years of study, this instrument could be mastered in a short time. What followed was his initiation of Flute classes at Scottsdale Community College in Scottsdale, Arizona and the first 16 week credited program for Native American Flute on a Community College level In February 2005, his 2nd book Song for Koko:Jazz for Native American Flute was presented for the advanced player. NOW here is Volume II of the Native American FLute SONGBOOK based on all you learned in Volume I
