| Native American Flutes |
Here's a beautifully
designed fingering chart for the Native American flute and the song Amazing
Grace. I don't know if all is accurate, but it's a beautiful to look at.
From the very clear diagrams I believe students could learn to play the
tune on a six hole Native American flute. There's a real audio file of Charles
Littleleaf performing the tune. |

extensive fingering charts for woodwinds, including basic fingerings, alternate
fingerings, quarter tone, and tremelo fingerings. Charts are available for
