Yehudi Menhin Music Guides by James Galway

Great informative book. Galways love of the flute and music is expressd here. He is very incouraging but realistic as far as someone getting into the flute playing business. Lynda

Great book for students of the flute

Book arrived in excellent conditon and in a timely fashion.

A must-have book for every flutist!

This is one of the best well-rounded books about the flute I have ever read! As an amateur flutist and flute teacher, I am always looking for new ideas and fresh perspectives to enrich my own playing and that of my students. James Galway does that. His easy-reading style has enough information to satisfy the knowledge-hungry without overwhelming the novice. I love it!

Thank you, Mr. Galway

James Galway is an amazing musician, and this is a wonderful book. He has insitlled in me a deeper appreciation for the instrument itself. From history to techinque, every page encourages the reader to strive for nothing less than absolute beauty in creating music. While many professional musicians have a way of intimidating, Mr. Galway's approach is to build up one's ability and confidence. Although at this time I am an intermediate player at best, Mr. Galway's wit, humor, knowledge, and love of the flute will help me grow as a musician.
