Hi!

In trying out some diferent instrument rentals I tried flute (and
violin) recently for a month. I found it sooo easy to play flute and
learn (on my own too) I was playing more difficult pieces in no time.
But, even so, I decided not to stay with it. I'm trying clarinet now
and though i find it harder so far, I just like it better.

Anyway, I got these 2 great books to learn flute by, on my own. They
are called Trevor Wye, A beginner's book for the flute, books 1 & 2.
They were highly recommended to me and worked very well for me. If you
are interested, I could sell them at a reduced rate 'cause I"m not using
them anymore. They are good as brand new. They were $21 each
(Canadian). (that would be less in American dollars).

Sorry for the sales pitch, but I have no use for them now and for that
kind of cost doesn't hurt to try to get something back eh? (and for
someone else to save some bucks too). Even if you don't want to buy
them from me... I still recommend them.

I also have 2 great brand new self-teaching violin method books
"Strictly Strings" to pawn off too... heh, heh... if anyone is
interested.

Man, I hope I stick with clarinet, I really like it so far!.... or its
back to recorder and that's it! Any suggestions for a good clarinet
method book?

If anyone is interested, E-me privately,

Max (pcarpent@-----.ca)
