Making Native American Style Flutes Online Course

• My name is Dustin Selva and I have been crafting Native America Style Flutes for the last 5 years. Inspired through ceremony, I have devoted myself to the flute and learning all that it has to teach me. For the first couple of years I didn't have proper instruction and learned directly from my experience with each flute. It is a powerful process to listen to each flute and work with it to create the sound your searching for.
• 
  
• After that initial stage of learning I found that I was never consistent and was missing some piece of the flute puzzle and read and watched everything that had to do with flute construction. I finally landed on some truths that made me very consistent and I fall in love with every flute I make with a focused intention.
• ​
  
• I created this course to help others fill in the missing pieces of the puzzle and to create beautiful sounding flutes every time. Join me in this course so that we can spread clear and beautiful sounds around the world in these interesting and chaotic times:)
