Native American Flute/Ars Elegante

The Native American flute has a soothing, soulful sound. It can be melancholy and peaceful or bright and upbeat depending on how it is played. Carla began playing Native American flute in 1997 while exploring her Native ancestry. Her collection of flutes now includes high sopranino sizes all the way down to low bass flutes. She performs for weddings, private parties, corporate events, community events, educational events, church services, and pow wows.

Carla loves sharing the Native American flute through performing and teaching. Her students range in age from 8 - 87. She cofounded the Northeast Ohio Flute Circle which met from 2001 - 2006. Her and her husband developed and taught a week-long adult class at The Clearing folk school in Wisconsin for 4 consectutive years. Carla is available for private lessons, school programs, educational workshops, and group classes.
