Voices Of Transformation

 Insights from Past Participants

Building Confidence and Connections
The IFPP was comprehensive, well organized and Jonny respected every participant with unconditional support. I came to the program as a fledging doubting flute player and I left with new found relationships with the other participants and a resounding belief in my potential to embrace the spirit of the Native American Flute and apply what I had learned to creating song. Thank you Jonny times ten!

Going Beyond My Self-Imposed Limitations
For me to experience growth in any area of my life, I need structure, focus and immersion in a group field. The Intentional Flute Players course offered all of that and more. Jonny is a true teacher who draws out the best in his students and brings forth what is unique to them.

The safe space created and held so beautifully allowed me to get in touch with my authentic voice with full support from him and from the group. The 1:1 allowed for the further refinement of each piece, opening doors to new possibilities. What was particularly impactful was the encouragement to go beyond my self-imposed limitations, to get out of the box and trust my own voice. This course will open possibilities in you that you never knew you had. I highly recommend it.

Others Took Notice Of My Growth
During the group meetings you have the feeling to connect with others on the same path and during the private sessions you can ask your own specific questions. I liked the combination. 

We got all kinds of prompts, so you learn where you are good at, what you like and what you like less. I learned what parts in flute playing are flowing in a natural way for me and what parts ask more practice. Some points I have to work on during a longer time, so I feel like the lesson continues once the course is over too.  When I lost courage with rhythm, Jonny encouraged me. He’s always so kind.

My technique got better, I now play with more variety. During this course my mindset was really focused on getting better, and people from my flute circle mention they can hear the course has done its work.That’s a nice feeling!

So I would certainly recommend the intentional flute player program to everybody who wants to grow in flute playing, you can start from whatever level you are at now.  You are really challenged and learn a lot in a short time, it’s intense and you learn to know new friends with the same interest too.

It was an honor to have Jonny as a teacher. This is a season in my life I will never forget, I will keep the memories in my heart.

Finding Purpose & Direction
This program has given me so much as in self-confidence, direction and purpose, plus lots of motivation and a sense of community.

I entered the program having doubts about my flute playing ability, shall I say, a little nervous as a beginner and feeling out of my depth, however I wanted to explore more of the flute. I loved the combination of group sessions plus the one-on-one lessons with Jonny. I quickly grew in confidence as I progressed and could hear positive results unwrapping each week. It was so much fun, yet challenging as well, which is what I wanted from the program.

It was truly wonderful to have the support and care from everyone within the group. 10 out of 10!!! Loved it immensely!
