The Native American Flute

The flutes are one of the oldest instruments in the world and they have been made and played in many different cultures. The origins of the Native American flute (NAF) are largely lost in the mists of time and the oral tradition suggests that it was originally a gift from the ‘Great Spirit’ or the ‘Creator’. It was mainly used for courting but also for ceremonial purposes and healing. It is a simple wooden instrument with two chambers: one that collects the breath of the player and another one that create sound. This unique characteristic alongside its pentatonic scale, makes it very easy to play compared to other flutes.

The Native American flute is an amazing tool for transforming emotions, expressing your creativity and connecting with your inner self. It can easily take you to a meditative and peaceful state of mind while improving your breathing. You can reconnect with nature by playing outdoors, using the sounds and landscape around you as inspiration. Finally, playing with others will enable you to share your music from the heart and feel more connected to them.

This wonderful instrument, a legacy from the Native American Indians, is now here for you and can be your companion for a life time. Very soon you will be able to play it and make your own music from the heart as not much technique is necessary. Allow the flute to be your voice and be ready to collect the gifts that is bringing for you. Because it always brings gifts as long as you are open to receive them.
