Flutes are simple and powerful instruments, directly related to the vital movement of breathing, the exchange of energy through the breath that transports life, sound and allows expressing the unspeakable. Music, in particular melody, is nothing less than a range of vibrations interacting and relating to each other, the flute being one of the most suitable musical instruments for initiation into the universe of melodic relations and combinations.
The breath is the manifestation of life, the only thing we need to do in the first instance to keep ourselves alive is to breathe, and our respiratory system is at the same time involuntary and voluntary, it is possible to exert some control over it, so the act of blowing and producing sound is very magical because it is a creative act, it is movement; life!
The native flute has elements that favor musical awakening, that is, our innate ability to make music, and helps deconstruct the idea that only people with natural talent for music can make it.
In principle, every flute created by native peoples is considered a native flute, in the Americas, we have many native flutes, Brazil is rich in this regard, as many native peoples have their flutes. However, here we use the term “Native Flute” or Native American Style Flute, as a reference to a specific style of flute, developed in North America, whose current characteristics were only standardized in the second half of the twentieth century. Its main characteristic that differentiates it from other Amerindian native flutes is the fact that it has two chambers (slow air chamber and sound chamber) whose passage of air from one to the other happens through a block over a table creating a tunnel for the fipple (whistle/chimney). This characteristic offers a soft sound that is sensitive to variations of breath, in addition to facilitating the production of sounds.
What definitively marked the American native flute, with an unmistakable musical style, was the standardization of the minor pentatonic scale. This mysterious scale that takes us back to deep emotions and nature, was already used by other very ancient peoples. The minor pentatonic scale was incorporated into the native flute with a combination of elements that reason will hardly be able to explain, what we know is that this marriage combined in such a way that currently, the native flute has become a symbol of ancestral rescue, of connection with nature and a path of “return home”. What we can say is that words will not be enough to explain what you will feel when you play your native flute. I felt magic and beauty, vibrating peace and love in the universe; our mission is to share this magic with you.
The main advantage of the native flute is that it is an instrument of quick mastery, which facilitates musical initiation for people who have never played an instrument, creating the possibility of rescuing their musicality, acting as a powerful ally in meditative, respiratory and therapeutic practices. In a few minutes playing the flute you will notice its magical effects.
