The bansuri bamboo flute of India is historically depicted as the instrument that conveys the love between Radha and Krishna.  Its smooth bamboo tones mixed with endless possibilities to slide and bend notes creates a distinctly beautiful sound unlike any flute in the world.  In this 3 hour intensive workshop, bansuri master Eric Fraser will teach techniques and compositions for bansuri as well as Indian ragas.  Beginners and experienced bansuri players are all welcome.

New 'A' scale flutes available for $50 with your online registration (regularly priced at $70)!  Register early, save $20 on your own bansuri!
