Want to learn to play flute with the cello?
Ann Licater has 7 spots left for this unique and powerful class. Many have found it especially wonderful because Ann will be presenting along with cellist, Suellen Primost! In the first half of the class Ann will run through technique brush-up on the native American flute (scales, embellishments) and then work with playing improvisational duets. Suellen Primost is a cellist, coming from Oakland, and will play improvisations with the students. There will be a mic/amp with reverb for the flute and the experience is really transformational.

Clint Goss Jam Tracks in G Minor
Clint Goss is busy doing the final mastering of his the second in his series of Jam Track CD's designed to enable you to play along with (jam) the tracks. This latest album is due out in January, and you can download two of the tracks now from his website, to give you a taste of the type of music which will be available in the final production.
The first title released was "Jam Tracks in A minor".
This new releases extends that to tunes written for a G minor flute. I applaud Clint for pulling together a compilation of tracks written for a specific flute key. This makes it a better investment for new players who may only have a single flute to chose the appropriate CD.
To download the two free tracks, click here:
