The Peaceful Night Flute Circle is comprised of the 22+ music students in
grades 5-7 from Bonanza School, Bonanza, Alberta, who are currently studying, playing, and performing with their Native American
Style Flutes. Several brothers and sisters have also purchased these instruments and share the gift of this music...
Almost half of the class own their own flutes...the others are supplied
on loan, thanks to our Bonanza School Parent Council. Our Parent Council kindly bestowed a generous amount of funding
upon us in the 2008-09 school year which made it possible for us all to share in the gift of this beautiful instrument.
Children are frequently found playing at any and all breaks during the day,
practicing their own songs and sheet music supplied by their teacher, Mrs. Carlstad
The Peaceful Night Flute Circle is made up of three student groups:
Peeps of the Peace - our youngest members 6-9
Junior Flutists - grade 5
Senior Flutists - grade 6 and up
To date, the Peaceful Night Flute Circle has shared their flute music with parents and community
