No musical expirence required  (just a willingness to try ...)
Learn to play the Native American Flute, it’s history, voicing  abilities, and how to play this beautiful and magnificent sounding instrument!
 
Few sounds catch the heart and imagination as the soulful, soaring and meditative voices of Native American flutes.  Using ancient musical scales and responsive to your breath and feelings, these magical flutes are wonderfully expressive, often touching others in unforgettable ways.   They can soothe, evoking a deep sense of relaxation, bring cleansing tears, compel others to harmonize in song, or initiate dance.  Amazingly … these instruments are also extremely easy to learn to play.  Besides Native music, they also can play standard European (chromatic) and other scales, and thus can play any style of music.
 
Bring your own pentatonic scale flute in any key.   Or register to reserve your very own flute.  PVC plastic and Navajo Cedar Wood flutes will be available for $20 or $65, respectively, as well as the quality of professional instruments, as seen in the performances of ‘Ancient Sounds’ and award winning Native American Flutists
