Journey With The Native Flute

Welcome to your Journey With the Native Flute!


This is a very exciting time. Whether you are learning the
flute for the first time, or seeking guidance to improving your
flute playing, this DVD is sure to be an excellent resource.
The DVD is designed to be watch from the beginning to the
end, or to be watched by chapter. If you are just starting I
highly recommend that you watch the chapters called “The
Basics”, at the beginning of the DVD, and also the chapter
called “Flute Care”, towards the end of the DVD. These
chapters are a must and will pay great dividends to you over
the years.
This booklet contains the tablature for the five songs that are
taught on the DVD as well as the scales that are taught. It is
not meant to be a complete book in and of itself.
Please note that the tablature shows the basic notes of each
song. Artistic license can and should be taken as you learn
this music to help make the music your own.
Even though songs are taught on this DVD, please remember
that there are no wrong notes. Make the music yours. Above
all, feel the music as you play and allow the feelings of your
heart to come through. Also, be free and experiment with
making up your own music. It need not be written down to
be good music, it just needs to be played.
Best of success to you on your Journey!

Brent Haines Biography
The path that led Brent to becoming the premier Native Flute maker,
started in the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains of Utah. Always
observant, Brent spent a great deal of his childhood hiking in the
mountains around him. Much of this time was spent listening to the
sounds of nature around him. The tinkling of water from a hidden spring,
the caw of the magpie bird, the falling of sand from a running lizard, and
the beautiful call of the meadow lark, all molded his psyche and
prepared his ear for listening to the most delicate sounds.
Later in life he applied himself to the study of the sciences and earned a
degree in Chemical Engineering, with an emphasis in Mathematics. This
background has served him well in understanding the physical principles
of the Native Flute.
Brent has a keen sense of proportion, color balance, and aesthetics.
Additionally he has the ability to create whatever he can imagine.
The rare combination of the sciences, math, artistic eye, and
craftsmanship has resulted in the wonderful sounding and looking flutes.
Brent and his wife Julia are currently raising their four children in the
shadow of the mountains of Utah. Family is most important to Brent and
they provide the motivation and creative energy that goes into creating
each instrument.
Brent gives many thanks to all of the individuals who have and are
assisting him along his Journey. Special thanks go his father, Larry Haines,
for his continued guidance and counsel. Wil Holm has been and is a dear
friend and guide through the musical landscape of life. Many thanks to
the friends that work with Brent in his shop. Without their help, there is
no way projects like this DVD could be completed. Alex Booth, thank
you for your help with making sure the music is written rhythmically
correct.

Above all, special thanks go to Julia Haines for her patient


loving sacrifices.
Nakai Tablature
Nakai Tablature has become the standard method for
writing music for the Native American flute. This system
was first written about in Art of the Native American
Flute, by R. Carlos Nakai and James DeMars, Canyon
Record Productions, 1996.
This system uses notes on a musical staff to represent
finger positions on a flute. By doing this, other musical
information such as rhythm and dynamics can be
represented.
Any flute pitch can be used when reading Nakai
Tablature. However, if you play tabulated music on a
piano, the actual notes you will play will be the same
notes that a Mid F# minor flute will play.
