Introduction to Flute

Considered to be one of the most ancient instruments of India, the flute is synonymous with Lord Krishna. Made with bamboo or wood, music is created as air moves through the cavities created on the instrument’s surface. Often played solo or used as an accompaniment, the flute has a lilting language of its own.

About the course

“It was like a dream to perform on that magnificent floating stage, in front of such a mammoth audience. I was a part of Cosmic Rythym - a yoga dance, at the World Culture Festival 2016. There were many hitches before going in for the finale. But, in the finale, it was perfect.”
Jayashree Prabhakar, 50
