Yesterday I attended a Native America Flute Making class taught by Michael Goodluck. This flute in the photo on the left was created by Micheal Goodluck and I purchased this one after watching a segment at AZ TV Morning Show here in Prescott. I was there in the audience and I enjoyed the whole program.
I then checked into taking Michael's Flute making class at Prescott College and attended the first evening of the class last night.
Here is Michael Goodluck showing the class how to begin to create a flute. He is using a router to make the inside or the guts of the flute.
If you are interested in making your own Native American Flute here is the information.
Making Native American Spirit Flutes at Prescott College with the Life Long Learning Center Classes.
Participants will learn about the history, culture, and traditions of Native American’s while making wooden flutes. This workshop includes hands-on woodworking, teachings of the spirit of flute making, and how to play a spirit flute. Participants will open the doorway to music and self expression.
As a Navajo Man, Michael Goodluck has been learning and teaching about Navajo traditions and culture all his life. He was taught flute-making from his grandfather and creates and provide a learning environment for the appreciation of Indian music, art, culture, and traditions. His hope is to teach unity in the community through music and spirit.
