Free Ney (Reed Flute) Classes

**Admin** Sun Feb 24, 2008 6:38 pm

The Rumi Dialogue Club at Carnegie Mellon University and Pittsburgh
Dialogue Foundation is offering "Free Ney (Reed Flute) Classes" for
everyone interested. The classes will be given by a volunteer who plays
on Ney for 8 years.

Ney is a very old eastern instrument which has been used since BC 5000.
Its sound is known to be the most similar to the human sound among the
wind instruments. Ney also has a significant place as a symbol in Sufi
teaching, especially in Rumi's writings, and in the Whirling Dervishes
Ceremony.

As a tradition, how to play on Ney is not taught for money. The only
cost expected is the responsibility of teaching how to play on Ney, as
much as you can, if someone wants to learn. With this activity, we will
try to continue this tradition.

WHERE: Carnegie Mellon University
WHEN: Every Friday at 6:30pm starting on February 29
FEE: Free
