Training course
The Lakota flute is an ancient instrument and is musically classified as a minor pentatonic instrument. Therefore, learning it is easier than other instruments and teaching it is done with traditional methods and using a simple tablature system. Of course, learning it with the Western music reading system is also possible, but in our opinion, the Western method of learning this instrument is very time-consuming and complicated and has many unnecessary frills…

These pipes can be made connected or separated from each other. Drone flutes have an ancient structure and have been made and used by Native Americans for a long time.

About us
Hamed Rudlavari (Derakht), founder of the Avayelotus art group, became acquainted with the Lakota Indian flute in 2017 while he was spending a period of introspection in a forest hut At that time, this instrument was almost unknown in Iran, and this acquaintance was made by one of his friends who had ordered this flute from North America. Derakh (means tree), who received his artistic name from an old tree on a spiritual and inner journey, after becoming acquainted with this flute, changed his specialized instrument from the duduk (an ancient flute related to the musical culture of the Caucasus and northern Zagros) to the Lakota flute and began to explore and examine its various aspects.
