Enjoy these Native American Flute lessons with Sky Redhawk, owner of Native Sounds located in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Keep in mind that Sky is playing a six hole flute with the third hole from the top being covered by a leather strip as well as his finger. His flute has now become a five hole flute! The five hole flute is very easy for beginners and you can play any six hole flute in this way just by keeping the third hole from the top covered with the ring finger of either hand. Either hand works for taking the top or bottom position on the flute. Do what comes natural!
