Timber - The Flute Tutor
compiled by Fintan Vallely

 This tutor is designed for the beginner learning the wooden "simple-system" six-hole flute. Since the fingering on the tinwhistle is identical, this book is also particularly suited for those who wish to learn the whistle with the intention of later taking up the flute.

Contents:
History, Fingering, Mouth Position, Left Handed Playing, Holding and Playing the Flute, Written Music, Music Theory, Rhythm, Starting Tunes, Jigs, Reels, Hornpipes, Slides, Breath Control, Ornamentation, Vibrato, Buying a Flute, Care of a Flute, and more.
