Native American Flute Lessons and Groups

[Gale Holzhauer]

Happy Holidays!  

If you want to give the gift of music to your child with autism, how about 

Native American Flute (NAF) Lessons? (starting in January 2016)

• Easier to play than the recorder and is a good starter to explore the recorder and other instruments.  No back thumb hole, Uses a pentatonic or other scale.
  
• Feelings can be explored using this instrument originally created for natural,  expressive outlet.
• Makes learning fun while complementing speech therapy, functional skill/OT objectives
• A lot of traditional tunes have been adapted for NAF.  It is a also just a great accompaniment to other voices or instruments in only learning a few notes.
• GROUP SESSIONS are included for free.  Most likely may meet at the Himmel Park Library. Flexible to other locations.   
• Flutes can purchased by me for $50 through arrangement with the maker, Odell Borg of High Spirits Flutes in Patagonia. 
• Lessons begin at $35 depending on a number of factors, one of which is more than one student in your area or taking lessons in my home. 
• It is a great folk instrument for exploring music and cultural connections locally and all over the world.  Can be included to enrich Dept of Ed Standards in most subject areas

HELLO THERE.  We now have two flute students playing in the New Year.  So far one 17 year old and one 14 year old.  I would love to round out the group, get more students started and working towards group music-making.  All the information is below.   Hand Drum is also an option for those not drawn to flute and would be a great addition to a music making circle! 

 HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!
