At High Spirits Flutes, we are excited to introduce the first video in a new series, 5 Minute Flute Lessons with Jan Michael Looking Wolf. Jan is an award-winning recording artist, Kalapuya Tribal Elder, and longtime friend of High Spirits Flutes. In this series, he shares the first steps of playing the Native American-style flute, beginning with connecting to your instrument, producing a clear tone, and starting the flute-playing process. In the opening lesson, Jan plays our High Spirits Signature White Tail high “B” Aromatic Cedar flute, a beautiful instrument with a warm and resonant voice. These lessons are designed for all levels, from beginners just starting out to experienced players refreshing their fundamentals.

This interactive Zoom workshop will give players the opportunity to elevate their playing, broaden techniques, improve control, and learn practical steps for creating and enhancing melodies. Jan will also cover embellishments and other techniques that can immediately expand your musical expression. With more than 25,000 students taught over his career, Jan brings decades of teaching experience as both a performer and university instructor.
