Good, do you have one? or like to have one?
I play Native American Flute and still learning, I got mind from Richard Maynard (Laughing Crow) usa.
Here a little story from one person on what they said abouthis flutes.
(Something a friend of mine wrote to me that brings it all home).
I've noticed that when I'm depressed, there's no music going in the house. It's like my heart goes silent. But that day I heard your beautiful flute music, it became my ray of sunlight. It pierced my darkness and drew me towards it...towards you. The plaintive cry of the Native flute brings the sadness out; it cries out the pain that we couldn't cry out on our own. One blows softly and has to finger the instrument delicately to produce the blissful sounds that lead to healing. Diana

Richards words on Native American Flute
I think it's important to know that the Native American Flute requires almost no effort. One does not need to hold one's mouth any certain way. What I mean is one does not need a special embouchure, such as a clarinet or trumpet player or even someone who plays a concert flute. "Just kiss it and blow" is the short, sweet way to get the point across. The fingering is elementary. The pentatonic scale has no wrong notes. You can play the notes in any order and your song will be "right". The goal is to learn to express yourself with your own song. Play what you see, play what you feel. Look at a tree and play the tree. Watch a hawk circling overhead and play the circles in the sky. Play the clouds.

Hi Wendy
Yes I knew when mentioning my favs that there was one I had missed out yet couldn't think who it was! Carlos R. Nakai is indeed the one! He has quite a few albums out going back to the 80's even.

RE: Anyone like Native American Flute Music
hi caveman, many times when I'm doing my spiritual work on the internet, I'm always playing CarlosCD in the background, so soothing.
I was told to let the flute teach me and let the creator breath flow through my flute, and it really work.
When I played flute at my friends centre a few week ago, the light were turn down(Because I do drumming meditation for people and playflute some sundays)and I found that I had someone else playing flute with me (spirit), most amazing experience.

Hi everyone
I've recently started listening to Native American Flute and I bought my first flute last week. I love it, and I've been practicing, but I'm getting really frustrated because what I play sounds so Western!!!! I may as well be playing recorder...it just doesn't sound how it's supposed to sound!! [:@]I guess when I've listened to a bit more music for inspiration i'll pick up some hints!! 😀
RE: Anyone like Native American Flute Music
The first time I heard Migration, by Peter Kater and Carlos Nakai, I took a very strong spiritual journey, shamanic actually. I didn't have any information on the tape when i listened but when I put it in the tape player, I literally had to stop working and kneel down in front of the tape player with my head on the floor (I first typed ground but I was inside, but that's how it felt....like I was touching my third eye to Mother Earth)in front of the music. Later, when the friend who had loaned me this tape gave me the cover of the tape, which lists the different songs, I realized.....I had taken a journey, the very journey these two gifted musicians left there on the tracks for me, and others.
The most powerful Native-American music I've ever heard, by far, has been at Sundance. During that tremendous ceremony, the music becomes a force of awakening, all on it's own.
One reason I believe Native-American music is so powerful is because the heartbeat of Mother Earth is always present.
RE: Anyone like Native American Flute Music
Yarnie, the best way to learn the flute is to let it teach you... Just start with a simple scale and let the notes flow as they will. That's what I do with mine and my drum... much better than my trying to force a tune on them.
My own flute is Navajo, bought from an NA called Two Feathers. It has six holes, but you always keep the third from the top covered with your wedding finger, as this is the direct link to the heart. This link connects to the standing people, the air people and the earth/heart beat and respects the Circle.
Two Feathers demonstrated how he teaches children... he slowly turned in the centre of the room, notes moving up and down as he denoted the differing heights of the seated people.
He also spoke of playing trees, mountain ranges...
I would recommend getting outside and playing as you walk along... great for learning the breathwork and for tuning into the world around you.

That's the man! I was too tired to recall his first name, lol. Lovely fella... I really felt a brotherly kinship with him at the weekend workshop. He's a bit of a looker too, cor! 😉 A girl can appreciate...
I bought his 3 cds at the same time but have yet to listen to them fully.
