5 Minute Flute Lesson: The Triad of Synchronicity

Welcome back to our 5 Minute Flute Lesson series with Jan Michael Looking Wolf, award-winning Native American musician, Kalapuya tribal member of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde in Western Oregon, and a cherished friend of High Spirits Flutes.

In this new episode, Jan introduces the Triad of Synchronicity, the three essential elements that come together when you play the Native American-style flute: finger placement, breath control, and tongue embellishment. Each part is explained with practical tips that make it simple to follow along, whether you are picking up the flute for the first time or refining your playing as an experienced musician.

For this lesson, Jan is playing the High Spirits Signature Luna Flute in F♯, handcrafted from domestic, sustainable wood and designed for a warm, resonant voice. Like all of our Native American-style flutes, the Luna inspires creativity, connection, and personal expression.

Jan Michael Looking Wolf is internationally recognized for his Native American flute albums and live performances, and he is deeply devoted to teaching and community. You can learn more about his performances, workshops, and music by visiting his website.

At High Spirits Flutes, we are committed to helping players of all levels grow in their flute journey.
