Native American-style Flutes, NAF Classes, Concerts, Recordings, and Books
WELCOME
Husband
and wife team Laura Lee Perkins and Kenneth Green present Learn to Play
the Native American Flute classes and educational family-oriented concerts.
The White Owl Duo teaches and performs throughout the United States and
their music has been described as powerfully drawing down and leading
one back to the Source of their own creation. Laura's playing has a mystical,
magical quality which inspires the imagination.
Laura Lee Perkins is the author of the acclaimed Native American Flute Tutor Book and her newest 2004 release is titled Earth Mother Flute Songs for the 6-hole Native American Flute. These books bring the joy of playing the 6-hole Indian flute to everyone, including the non-music reader, because Laura writes the music using a simplified finger numbering system. The Flute Tutor Book comes with a learn to play one-hour CD.
Kenneth Green is known throughout the world for his amazing woodworking and instrument making skills. His WHITE OWL quality 6-hole Native American flutes are sold in 17 countries and in museum gift shops throughout North America. WHITE OWL flutes have impeccable pitch, beautiful hand-carved fetishes, a patina that is enhanced with age, and a purity of tone quality that is unrivaled among flute makers.
The WHITE OWL DUO has recorded four albums:
- FIRST LIGHT - a collection of 19 tunes from the Eastern Woodlands.
- HEARTBEAT - 15 tracks of varied rhythmical accompaniments played on authentic Native American percussion instruments.
- SOUNDS OF FEELINGS - Laura's original melodies for meditation and healing recorded on the alto flute.
- BEARING WITNESS - Chippewa/Ojibwe tunes and original melodies that emerged from the Great Lakes area.
They were a 2003 NAMMY [Native American Music Awards] nominee for the Best Traditional Recording and they have been chosen twice to be Artists-in-Residence for the U.S. National Park Service. The WHITE OWL DUO has been the recipient of four grant awards for their tireless work researching, documenting and recording authentic Native American tunes.
