The Native American Flute Saturday, May 24th 3pm
Call 731-3117 to register & receive directions
The Ancient Art of Hand Drumming will give participants a chance to see and play a wide variety of hand percussion instruments. Facilitator Carla Roberts shares the fun of playing percussion in a group setting and demonstrates basic playing techniques. No previous experience is required and drums are available if you do not have one.
During The Native American Flute workshop, Carla demonstrates the beautiful, natural tone and playing techniques on the cedar wood Native style flute. Using a 5 note scale, participants will learn about flute fingering, breath control and vibrato which can lead to a more pleasing sound for the beginner. This workshop is also an opportunity to play flutes from one of the top makers in the US.
Bring a flute if you have one, or play one of ours.

Free Workshops
Participants in ECA's free drum and Native flute workshop last Saturday received hands on instruction from teacher Carla Roberts. The group learned the basic playing technique and ancient rhythms on the goblet shaped dumbek drum. Two versions of the frame drums - Irish and Native American, where demonstrated and played. An introduction to the Native American flute covered basic fingering for the five note scale, breath control, and work on intonation for a pleasing sound.
These instruments are very enjoyable to play and easy to learn. If you would like to join in for a class on one of these ancient folkloric instruments, ECA has regular weekly classes available in a supportive and inexpensive group setting.
Future workshop possibilities:
Banjo -Native American Drum and Chant for Women
Clogging - African Drumming - Recorder - Irish Bodhran
