Event Details

Native American Flute - Part 1

Learn to Play the Native American Flute - Part 1

The Native American flute is a very inventive, simplistic and often meditative sound. Because it is so easy to play-much easier than traditional Western instruments such as guitars, French horns, clarinets, pianos and silver flutes-it lends itself easily as a meditative tool. Many people find it earthy and grounding. Others find it transporting and ethereal. The beautiful haunting sound is great for facilitating an inward experience. In this experiential workshop you will learn the basics of the native scale and how to create native style music from the heart. Everyone will have a flute to play with a plastic tube (for sanitary reasons).

This class is facilitated by a music therapist and is very non-threatening. No prior musical training needed! Many have taken this class who thought they have no musical talent and have left joyful at having discovered their inner musician! We will also cover some of the therapeutic aspects of this wonderful instrument.
