Flute Lessons

I have always loved music. I began playing piano at age 6, classical silver flute at 10. I continued to play piano and flute throughout high school and into college. I graduated from U of MT in 1995 with a B.A. in Hydrogeology. In 1998, I traveled to South America and purchased a Kena, my first indigenous flute. I loved experimenting with this new flute and decided I would teach myself to play spontaneously, ‘from the heart’, as I had only learned to read and play written music.

Upon returning to the U.S., I purchased my first Native American flute while living in Jackson, Wyoming. This began a love-affair with this beautiful, sacred instrument. I have continued to play, perform, record and collect Native flutes, including the Indian Bansuri transverse flute, since then. I have played a variety of events: weddings, Native ceremonies, a concert with Krishna Das in Boulder, Colorado, poetic book readings with Dolores LaChapelle, and background meditation music for Diane Zumer’s “Creating Heaven on Earth” CD. I plan to record both a child’s and adult’s music and meditation CD.
