What People Say
“ Larry brings an incredible energy to every performance at SaraCare Adult Day Services Center. He has a unique gift for engaging each participant, making every individual feel seen, valued, and truly special.” Vicki Maynard, Executive Director
"Larry Gindhart’s Native American flute music and culture program (Journey of a Flute Man), was an unforgettable experience for our students. From the moment he began to play, the room became noticeably calmer as the peaceful sounds of the flute created an atmosphere where students felt safe, relaxed, and ready to learn.
Larry masterfully blends music, storytelling, and cultural education in a way that is both engaging and meaningful. Our students were captivated by his authentic presentation and gained a deeper appreciation for the history, traditions, and significance of the Native flute. His program not only enriched their understanding of another culture but also demonstrated the powerful connection between music, mindfulness, and emotional well-being.
As an educator, I highly recommend Larry’s program to any school. It is a unique experience that supports social-emotional learning while inspiring curiosity, respect, and a love of music. We are truly grateful for the opportunity to have shared this experience with our students." Allison Arnold-Kempers, MSD Wayne Township
“A truly calming and immersive experience.”“Engaging, meaningful, and beautifully presented.”Â
“I so enjoy your music. It definitely has a healing effect.”Â
"I knew his Native American flute playing was other-worldly. What I didn't know is how beautifully versed he is in drumming and percussion.Â
“There is nothing quite like solo flute to ease one into the day. The humble refrains of a flute played well, echo through the ages, in a timeless reverie of artistic joy. Here Gindhart performs on Native American styled flute with his latest single creation, Awakening Mountain.Over the years I have had the pleasure of listening to solo flute artists like Nigel Shaw, David Rose, and R. Carlos Nakai. Gindhart, as a flute performer, has an artistic nuance that allows his skill set to flow freely. This is truly solo flute at its very best and I can see nothing but success on the horizon for Larry Gindhart Music.” Steve Sheppard, One World Music Radio
