"Flute Through The Lens Of A Sound Healing Practitioner" With Natalie Brown
About This Workshop:
This session explores the Native American flute through the lens of a sound healing practitioner, weaving together meditative practice, contemporary research, and cultural context. Rather than focusing on technique or performance, the session centers on the flute as a meditative instrument, emphasizing breath, pause, silence, and deep listening. Drawing from sound healing, nervous system science, and historical and cultural perspectives on flute playing, participants will explore how intention shapes sound, including playing for an emotion, a specific area of the body, or energetic support. A grounded discussion of tuning systems will also be included, with an accessible comparison of 440 Hz and 432 Hz supported by research-informed perspectives and a short demonstration, inviting participants to notice perceptual and embodied differences for themselves.
Three Key Takeaways
- An expanded understanding of the Native flute as a meditative instrument, informed by science, history, and cultural context, with practical ways to integrate pause and deep listening into playing
- Research-informed tools for playing with intention and purpose, including working with emotion, the body, and supportive sound rather than performance
- A balanced, experience-based perspective on tuning and frequency, including an embodied comparison of 440 Hz and 432 Hz and how tuning choices may be perceived in the body
About Our Instructor:
Natalie Brown is a classically trained violinist, sound healing practitioner, and educator dedicated to unlocking the transformative power of sound. From her early training at the Preucil School of Music to earning advanced degrees in music education and Scottish ethnology, Natalie's life has revolved around a profound connection to music. Her career has taken her across the globe, performing with orchestras, folk, rock, jazz, and bluegrass bands, and leading high school orchestras on acclaimed stages like Carnegie Hall and St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna.
Natalie's passion for sound healing emerged from her own search for relaxation and stress relief, leading her to modalities like meditation, tai chi, and ultimately the use of sound for health and wellness. Awed by the profound transformations she witnessed through sound healing, Natalie founded Sounds Heal Studio to help others uncover their inner wisdom, achieve wellness, and experience personal growth.
Through her music, teaching, and sound healing practice, Natalie empowers others to move through challenges and discover their personal power, fostering transformation through sound in deeply meaningful ways.
