Native American Flute Portal Flute School in Sesson!

I wanted to announce that I am now contributing to the new blogs on the Native American Flute Portal. The blogs went live a few weeks back, and Geoffrey Ellis invited me to be a contributor to the blogs. It's an honor. We have a great staff of blog authors, including Geoffrey Ellis, Scott August and Clint Goss.

I have started a weekly column called: "Flute School" where I will be pulling together a new topic every week, including exercises to help you along your path. I plan to publish the Flute School blog entry every Friday, so that you have something to try over the weekend. I hope that you'll join me for this every week.

Friday Fun: Electronic Tanpura

If you wanna try something different, download a computer generated Tanpura, install it, and then select the key of one of your flute, try making your own music.
