Native American Flutes
Just a few words from Mrs. Hinz... Please bring $15.00 cash to cover the cost of the flutes by Friday, Sept. 16th.
PARENTS / CAREGIVERS:
As part of our school goals this year, we will be creating our own Northern Spirit Flutes.
What is a Native American flute?
A Native American flute is a wooden flute, which has been used by First Nations people from across North America. In Canada, the Algonquin, Assiniboine, Black foot, Cheyenne, Cree, Fox, Haida, Sioux and Thompson people played the flute.
There are many different types of flutes played by various First Nations people. Some were made of wood and others were made from bone. Your child will learn to play a Native American flute that they have made from ABS tubing.
Building Our Own Flutes
During the last week of September we will make our “Northern Spirit Flutes”. These flutes will be very sturdy and they will provide a lifetime of musical enjoyment. They are a functional piece of art that reflect your child’s unique spirit. In keeping with the cultural aspect of these instruments, we may have an Elder from the Aboriginal community to come visit us and do a special blessing. If you would prefer that your child not participate in this aspect of our flute making, please let your child’s classroom teacher know.
Payment
We are asking each student to bring $15.00 to help cover the cost of the flutes.
(Cash is preferred.)
Please bring the money A.S.A.P. and give it to your child’s classroom teacher.
The remainder of the project will be funded with school funds.
I am very excited about this unique, educational experience for your child. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this project, please do not hesitate to call me at
791-8585.
Yours in music,
