Flute Music | Scales | Embellishments | Lessons

Playing your Native American Style Flute | There are no wrong notes! All notes harmonize melodically. Reading music is not needed.

Go HERE for handy playing tips, flute care & troubleshooting for Native American style flutes.   

Music Learn to play songs using a unique way of ‘reading music.’  Pictures of what notes to cover and uncover are used instead of reading traditional music.  This makes learning very easy to play. Here is the basic scale. 

Basic Fingering Chart

  • Fundamentals
    • Scales and Arpeggios.  Get started on the minor pentatonic and major scales. Enjoy advancing to arpeggios, the blues scale, mixolydian and mode 4 pentatonic scales. All on 1-page! Get a chart of musical terms and markings to read timing, embellishments, etc.
    • Templates Julie devised in 2020 to write out your own music. Simply use the staff paper lines to make 6 vertical circles for each finger hole. Next, pencil in the circles to show which holes to cover.  Lyrics go on the dotted lines in between.  The half page format has room below for notes and instructions. Use the full page format for longer songs. Happy creating!
    • Chakra Tone Chart See the yoga (Vedic) and Tibetan notes and tones used for balancing chakras by either increasing or decreasing their energy with sound. Yoga (Vedic) notes and tones are based on the diatonic scale. Tibetan tones and notes are based upon the perfect 5th.  Try both to see what is best for you.  Learn more about chakras here.
    • Easy Hand Warm-ups Here’s a great 5-minute series of hand movements & mudras to help your fingers, wrists & hands with easy-to-remember names for each one. Great for musicians & anyone with stiff, painful fingers, hands or wrists. Learn the Hakini Mudra, Beak, Bug, Claw, Paw, Seed, Web, Wings, Eagle & Hridaya. Thank you Christine Stevens at Upbeat Drum Circles for interviewing me.
