Song Stick - Native American Flutes and Music by Troy Good Medicine De Roche
Workshops
Troy Good Medicine De Roche has taught
workshops in flute playing around the world. His
students include musicians from all cultures.
Troy's workshops do not only teach technique, however.
He incorporates the traditions and beliefs his family instilled in him
by telling stories of his childhood, such as how his grandfather taught
him to make small flutes from willow twigs. He tells stories of his
journey to adulthood, and he shares the backstories of his most beloved
songs.
