This was a great motivator and unique learning experience. I have long wanted to make little videos to simplify and enhance various aspects of teaching. Now I will follow through with their creation and they will become part of the course. Thank you Ami!

It was clear and to the point. I didn't attend it again due to mixup of time zone, but watching it was almost as good as being there.

I always learn more and more from Ami’s classes!! This really took me leaps and bounds and has made me a much more confident flute player- this coming from a reserved, shy person. Couldn’t recommend her enough! I love taking lessons from Ami! Best decision I’ve made on my flute journey! She’s very knowledgeable, patient and eager to help in anyway she can!

Class: "Flute KARAOKE, on the Native American Style Flute"

Ami is a great teacher and knows how to explain the class in a meaningful way >I am just not up to speed and understanding of the material plus I have major deficits with the internet and howto do basic jobs. Ami was just wonderful in trying to help me out with the lesson ,but I feeel I do not have the basic understanding of music and the Net so it remains a deficit for me. Ami is the kindest and most understanding ,patient teacher I have ever had. jerry Okeefe

It was a very great learning experience. I loved all the basics that Ami taught but I don't know if I would have time to fill out the entire Journal on a daily basis her basics guided me to a new way to practice and will help me tremendously with my Practice time I am also learning Recorder and she makes it very easy to plan Practice time for both instruments I highly recommend this video to anyone looking to enhance their practice time and in turn will help you be a better musician.

At the end of every class with Ami I announce "This is my favorite"...and I say that once again. This class provided many tools for improvising using three simple Modes !!!! Ami teaches and then gives you a carefully mapped out plan for moving forward. Feeling so grateful for Ami. Thank you Lessonface !

Ami Saraswati is an accomplished teacher. She is the best NAF teacher I have experienced. Ami is very thorough in her approach. Everything has been thought through and explained in great details in her book. I am so glad I got to learn from her. Thank you so much for all the help and support you have provided.

I had purchased a flute with the intention to self-teach through experimentation. Shortly after, my husband signed me up for this course as a Christmas present and I'm so glad he did! The Learn to Play NAF Introductory course was very helpful and I probably would have gotten frustrated with the flute and never picked it up again had it not been for this course. Playing the NAF is much more comfortable and enjoyable with the techniques I've learned! Thank you, Ami!

The class was wonderful. Ami did a beautiful job of facilitating the other musicians and was very encouraging. I don't have a NAF at this time, but I really enjoyed being a part of the audience and hope to invest in one soon so I can learn too.

Class: Develop a Repertoire on the Native American Style Flute

This class was much more than I expected. I have struggled with being able to focus and put my music goals in the priority they deserve. The organization skills that Ami serves up in this series is exactly what I need to stay motivated with my music goals. Ami had touched on this subject a bit in another class so I hesitated to join this one thinking there wouldn't be more information to help me along my journey. I was so wrong. I'm truly thankful that I signed up and look forward to seeing what these tools are going to bring to my musical journey. The best way to describe this class is it showed me tools I never dreamed I needed. Gift this class to yourself. You will not be disappointed. Cheers!....and happy musical journey to you !!!

So happy that I took Amy's beginners NAF class. The first lesson made it worth my while and the rest were gravy. I successfully close the finger holes and no longer squeak or whistle my way when playing. Signed up for intermediate lessons. Thanks, Amy for your kind and thorough approach.

Class: Musician's Heart Journey

This course was more than I expected. I don't consider myself to be that musical, but having picked up the Native American Flute in my 50s and found Ami as my instructor, I was curious about this other course she offered. The insightful part for me was that Ami combines her musical expertise and her experience and training in guided journaling to help uncover some things that can keep us from a full expression of our musical selves. An ah-ha for me came when I realized an early memory of my own was playing the piano by ear as a kid. It was fun for me and I was uninhibited…until an older neighbor boy made a comment to my parents that I was "entertaining the neighborhood." Our piano lived in the garage, my own little amphitheater. Once I realized that, my shy introverted self all but stopped playing. I'd never have thought of that as a possible influence when I picked up a flute 40 years later, enchanted by its soulful tones and connection to my home in the Southwest. But then I couldn't look past a pattern I'd missed, realizing that I was only practicing my flute in those stolen moments when even my very supportive husband wasn't home. You may not find me perched atop the Boynton canyon "entertaining the neighborhood" with my flute, but in bringing that old imprint into the light, I feel free of it should i choose to. All of that from just one of these lessons in this program. Come in with an open mind and heart and see what unfolds for you. Wherever you are on your journey and whatever role music may have in your life, I bet you'll walk away with a deeper understanding and greater appreciation for the layers of richness it adds to your world.

Ami is an amazing Native American flute player and teacher. She really draws you into the program and goes deep into the learning. I love having classes with her I started with her in 2014 And I am fortunate to be training with her again.

LOVED this class. Ami has orgnized things so there is not a moment wasted. I now have new skills for journaling that are going to change everything for me. I am really looking forward to learning the last piece of this program and then to move forward with what I'm sure will be amazing tools to work with.
