Jerry Fretwell playing Native American Flute

It's easy to learn how to play your Native American Flute. The construction of the flute makes blowing into it and producing sound simple. Anyone can play a melody the first time they pick up a flute. The way the Native American Flute is tuned makes this possible. The natural fingering position makes this a pentatonic flute. Breathing is the key. Learning to breath from your diaphragm is the beginning. This can be challenging at first. After playing around with this page you will have a good start toward understanding your flute.




   Beginner Scale - Minor Pentatonic  
 
If you play only the notes that are made by fully opening or fully closing a hole on your native american flute, you can easily create a melody. In the sound sample below I will play the scale using only the notes that are made by fully opening or fully closing a hole. After you have played the scale a few times, try changing the order that you play the notes in. This is an easy way to play a little melody. That's the beauty of this instrument. You play whatever is in your heart. ** notice that the 6 hole flute is played the same as the 5 hole flute,,, by leaving the 3rd hole from the top covered all the time.
