I began to make handcarved Native American Style Flutes in 2011, in Aromatic Western Red Cedar, which goes under the name of Dream Flutes.
All my flutes are tuned in Concert minor scale, but are meant to be played in the traditional pentatonic scale.

My flutes comes in a range from low Eb minor to high C minor. Low ranged flutes (F-Eb) are around 70 cm long and have a beautiful deep, rich tone. Middle range flutes(G-F) are around 60 cm and high ranged flutes(C-A) are ca 50 cm long.

I also love composing music and have done so since I was 11 years old.
With my new instruments I recorded the CD - Blue skies.
The Cd has eight calming, meditative tracks with the Native American Style Flute along with harp and sounds of the nature.

Me and my passion

So I begin with something about myself.

My name is Therese and I am 33 years old. Born and raised in Soderhamn, Sweden. Moved to Australia in 2006 to study classical music-flute.
After I finished my bachelor degree i fell pregnant with twin boys. The little rascals are now 2 1/2 years old.

My interest for American Natives began when I was around 10 years old. I used to ask my mum why she didn't put me out on the the prairie so some native tribe could snatch me up. I desperately wanted to live as a traditional Native American. (as that was going to happen.....)
I used to have my whole room decorated with native picture and arts. I even went to Stockholm to buy Native American pow-wow music and learnt words from the lakota tribe in South Dakota.
Times went by and I forgot all about my 'passion'.

Till now - a few months ago.

I have played the traverse flute for 23 years I wanted to try something new. Hmmmm - why not try a Native American Flute? So I had a look on the Internet, but the flutes were way too expensive.
Then I got a great idea. Why don't I build my own, that I can write music for and play?

So I began to do some research about it and this is what I found out.
