What Kids Are Saying


Student Journal Writing
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yesterday was fun and exciting for me because when I first heard Mr. Dubé play his flute I really was interested in how to make one. I was kind of not wanting to drill the holes because I was scared I would mess up and I did but I was so glad that I could make another one. I just love the way the flute sounds. It’s really calming.

Today was just a fun as yesterday because I really like my design that I’ve drawn. . . . My flute is going to look awesome!! Thank you for coming and teaching us how to make these flutes. I can’t wait till we learn how to actually play!!

I felt addicted. I just wanted to play and play.

Excited. I just wanna play and play. I took it home and was playing till bedtime and my mom and sister were just getting annoyed. It was fun.

I would really like to make my own because I enjoy playing the flute and because sometimes my sister doesn’t share hers with me. I know that I could play a little bit better. Probably better than my sister and maybe I could get as good as you.

I felt so good because it was cool that I was making my very first flute then someday I’ll teach my grand kids or something.

I wrote they see the struggle but not the pain in Cree words.

I felt like a true Indian.

I think a flute is a very spiritual instrument of life. I would be spiritually stronger if I learned how to play a flute.

I can do this too!

"Your project flutes-for-kids rocks!" - Marina Nadir  

______________________________

The flute that you so generously gave to me has been given to a very deserving at-risk teenager from a local native tribe.  I was doing an artist in residence program and this young man picked up the flute that I had been bringing with me and began to make incredible music with it.  This kid had been in a reserved shell for the entire program until he picked up that flute.  By the time he was done, another at risk teen had joined him in a duet with her singing.  Tears and joy were in full abundance.

It was immediately clear after that young man picked it up that that flute was now his.  

I just wanted to let you know that it found a deserving and permanent home.

"I had the honor of getting a phone call, one day, from Rich Dubé of Northern Spirit Flutes. He asked me if I would help him with designing flutes, he was working on, that are made entirely from U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved ABS plastic and explained to me that it was for children, so that they would be able to learn how to make and play these wonderful instruments at a very affordable price. I could tell in his voice that Rich was extremely sincere and committed to this project. Having children learn about this instrument is very important to me as well, so I told him to ask away with any questions he may have had and I would be happy to help him however I could. Rich called me several times and sent me several design ideas via E-mail to look at and discuss. He purchased a flute from me so that he could visually see how I made my wood flutes. Rich got as close as possible (molds permitting), making a very doable design. These flutes play very well and are fantastic for children to learn on. I tip my hat to Richard for staying so dedicated and for spending hours and hours of his time and using his own money to finance this project for the kids.
Rich, you are a good man with a good spirit....."
