In Indian mythology and culture the bamboo flute, also known as the bansuri has a special significance as it is the chosen instrument of the Lord Krishna, who is often, depicted playing it. Bansuri literally means “bamboo musical note from the Sanskrit.The first thing to practice is sitting correctly. Sit tall and straight, do not let your body twist. Look straight ahead or slightly upwards and hold the flute with relaxed shoulders. For most players, the flute will extend to the right side, but this is your choice. The hand playing the first three notes will be the hand that is not near the flute end. Most people play with the flute extending to their right, so it is their left hand that will play the first three holes. This hand should hold the flute from the outer side of the flute, fingers pointing towards you. You opposite hand should be on the inside of the flute, fingers pointing away from you.To first make a sound, purse your lips comfortably and blow across the mouth hole.If you have trouble, make sure that the bottom lip is just touching the rim of the hole, and then blow and roll the flute towards and then away from your mouth. You should be able to find the sound this way. Do not blow into the mouth hole, the sound is made in the same way a bottle can be made to whistle, with the air being blown across the opening. Work on first making a sound with no fingers on the holes. Ensure that all the holes are totally open. Once a sound can be made, work on making it more and more clearly.*Clint Vera’s Native Flute Handbook 15.

Timing is one of the key tools of any musicians tool palette. Timing is everything. The poetry of music is in the silent moments between notes. Use a metronome, a clock or anything else that can keep a beat (perhaps your own body movement, such as your hand patting alternate knees or your fingers clicking) to find a four count.Timing 1- 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 Blow------Keep-----Keep-----KeepX X X XTiming 3- 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4Taking these examples, invent your own.
