Native American Style Flute
Deepen your bond with the spirit of your flute on your journey with the beautiful tones of this instrument as we explore the techniques and nuances that can influence your sound, such as breath control and phrasing, fingering techniques and articulations.
Two new scales will also be introduced to help you start expanding your musical palette.
Students are required to have taken the Leaning Native American Style Flute workshop and to have a clear understanding of the primary scale of the flute.
It is also highly recommended that the student has an A-minor flute.
If you need one, we will have student flutes available for purchase.
