QUENA (ANDEAN VERTIKAL FLUTE)<\/h1>\n

INDIVIDUAL COURSES AND WORKSHOPS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

\"populare-musik-quena1\"<\/p>\n

It is an instrument of pre-Columbian origin, which, nowadays, is widely spread in the Andes. The standard contemporaneous Quena is tempered to the universal musical system (440 Hz) and generally made of bamboo or wood. Its musical interpretation area is broad (from the classical style to folklore, pop and jazz), in such a way that, in principle, it is possible to execute all types of music.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"populare-musik-quena2\"<\/p>\n

As it is an instrument without a mouthpiece, but that possesses a notch, the production of the first sound might be of some difficulty. However, if you are a wind instrument musician or already have experience with some wind instrument, this will be a minimum difficulty. In the case you have no musical experience the beginning of the course will contain simple preparatory exercises, so that you will quickly be able to play simple melodies from the Andean songbook.<\/p>\n

    The family of Quena in detail<\/h2>\n

    The quena is a vertical flute generally used as a soloist instrument.<\/p>\n

    Generally, the material used is bamboo. However, it is also quite common to see Indian flutes made of turned wood.<\/p>\n

    Therefore, the sound of each quena can vary very slightly, due to the kind of mouthpiece (Bevel in U, V or C), according to the kind of material and diameter of the pipe.<\/p>\n

    Thus, the choice depends on the flautist\u00b4s taste and the kind of music he wants to interpret.<\/p>\n
