Introduction
The Native American Style Flutes that I craft are played by diverse people, for many purposes. Sometimes we play for heartfelt expression, sometimes we play for the deep resonating tones that soften the mind and bring peace, and sometimes we play for the healing of self and others. Southern Cross Flutes invites you to journey with us on these interweaving paths.
As a New Zealander, I had never met another flute player until I went to Australia in 2010. Matt Shooting Star, my first flute friend, was also my first flute teacher. It wasn’t until I left for the USA in April 2010 that I entered into a fabulously vibrant and diverse NASF community. How lucky and excited I felt! I met my NASF heroine, Mary Youngblood; I camped in the desert; and for weeks I played music with new friends, climbing in the mountains where wild bears listened and the canyons echoed to our music. It was a dream, and I feel such a deep sense of happiness and thanks for the NASF world and its growth here in Aotearoa/New Zealand. We are part of a new wave of musicians exploring an old instrument that captivates, fascinates and uplifts us.
Trusting in my journey with the flute, I was led towards two mentors: my new friend Matt Shooting Star and Guillermo Martinez, kind and compassionate men who opened their lives to share their craft. It is to these two generous people I offer my greatest respect, as they gave me the opportunity to develop my Southern Cross Flutes and further the NASF community in New Zealand. The name Southern Cross Flutes refers to the spirit, the deeper meaning and inspiration, behind these flute creations; the constellation that enchants my imagination under the Southern Stars.
Today the NASF is played widely throughout the world, though mainly in the USA, where NASF communities exist in most states. Flute players gather monthly at flute circles, where people share their new flutes and new songs, where they play together and experience the beauty of their flutes and their souls’ creations. There are also many professional recording artists who teach flute workshops and give one on one tuition. Here in Aotearoa/New Zealand we have our local flute community, an annual residential Flute Camp, and flute circles growing and developing in Wellington, Auckland, and Christchurch; be sure to check our website for updates, as well as our Facebook pages: Southern Cross Flutes and New Zealand Flute Circle .
