—The Lone Star Flute Circle is the answer to anyone living in the Central Texas area who plays, or would like to learn how to play, the Native American style flute, or has a love or respect for American Indian music, culture, and art. We are dedicated to preserving the history and promoting the future of the Native American Flute. "Flute Circles" exist throughout the United States (and abroad) and provide a social atmosphere for people interested in Native American & World flutes--but not restricted to flutes... drums, guitars (even iPhone apps) are welcome! We love anything that lets your soul express music.

The Lone Star Flute Circle serves the Austin/Central Texas area. Our members range from musicians, flute makers, & artists, to collectors and historians, from the novice beginner to accomplished recording artists. In fact, we have helped to bring several internationally-known acts to Austin! Many of the Native American flutes in our member's personal collections are either directly inspired by, or in some cases are, early historic flutes found throughout North America. Today's skilled wood-craftspeople have taken tradition to a whole new level by combining state-of-the-art technology with raw talent and craftmanship to create some of the most beautiful sounding (and looking) instruments ever made. Though we don't sell flutes directly, we can introduce you to those who do. Well-made, concert-tuned wood flutes can be purchased for as little as $50 and are surprisingly easy to play. You'll be playing your soul's music before you know it—and we can help you do that! As with all of our fellow flute circles, we are multi-cultural and open to the public, and we LOVE to see NEW FACES! And of course, we always welcome our friends from other circles to join us too!

By "join us" we simply mean "come spend the day with us". We meet regularly from 2:00 - 5:00 PM on the third Saturday of each month. Ocasionally we will meet at various local Austin hot-spots, such as Zilker Botanical Garden, and John Dromgoole's The Natural Gardener, to provide free concerts for the public. Such concerts are open-mic for our members and visiting guests! If you've ever been interested in learning about the Native American flute but didn't know where to go, come join us! There will be snacks & drinks, or feel free to bring your own. There is always an open-mic (with reverb/delay) and a comfortable atmosphere so people can share their latest music. By the way, you don't have to be a musician. Non-playing spouses, family members, and friends are always welcome! We are ALL a family united in our love for all things native to America, especially the peaceful and "haunting" sound of our Nation's very first woodwind. We hope to see you soon....

—By the way, the construction for our new website is currently underway. The new website will have all of the amenities of a modern website, including the information on this page, PLUS... a calender of local events, helpful information about everything NAF, free PDF's, a music-player, and lots and lots of pictures (and videos!) of our members and visiting guests enjoying the social atmosphere of previous Lone Star Flute Circle gatherings--as well as member bios for those that wish to share them! Stay tuned!

The Lone Star Flute Circle will begin hosting regular classes and workshops on a variety of interesting and unique subjects related to Native American Flute music, art, and community. These are open to the public! Stay tuned for more information about classes and workshops as they become available!  —New Information will be posted here...
