Native American Flute Therapy

Sunday, November 16, 2014 13:08

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

The Native American flute, a traditional ethnic wind instrument developed by indigenous Native American cultures, is an end-blown flute fashioned either from cane, hardwood, or softwood. The instrument evolved from traditional uses in courtship, treatment of the sick, ceremony, signaling, legends, and as work songs. During the late 1960s, the United States saw a roots revival of the flute, with a new wave of flutists and artisans. Today, Native American style flutes are being played and recognized by many different peoples and cultures around the world.

The Native American flute is sometimes used by music therapists and music educators. Because of its simple and accessible design, virtually anyone can play the flute. A recent study exploring physiological responses to playing and listening to the Native American flute found a significant positive effect on heart rate variability and concluded that the instrument merits a more prominent role in music therapy and that a study of the effects of flute playing on clinical conditions, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), hypertension, anxiety, and major depressive disorder, is warranted.
