Making Native American Style Flutes Online Course

Picture
  • 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. I 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.

Dustin is a master flute maker. I now believe that you can feel and hear the soul of the maker in the sound of the flute. Ever since receiving my flute it has become one of my most go-to flutes when I play. The craftmanship and tone of my flute has been admired by many who have heard and seen it.
