Thor & Olle Build your own flute & play with us! 

Build your own flute & play with us! Digitally adapted to current circumstances for Skapande Skola, grades 4-8.

With Thor & Olle, the children can build simple flutes and try playing these to folk music accompaniment, an excerpt from our playbook and disc that is now being made with the support of the Cultural Council.

The music we play together is from our program "Music from the South" where we, among other things, playing songs from Greece, Spain, Louisiana and France.

Thor & Olle play and talk about their folk music and their instruments: harmonica, bagpipes, major, Greek lute, different kinds of flutes and their home-made and home-grown instruments such as gourd banjo,

The workshop consists of two parts

  1. The students receive a preparation material with pdf file and video with tasks. The tasks also include a box of materials for the flute construction.
  2. After the students have done the tasks for 1-2 weeks, we meet on a link via Zoom and talk about instrument building, folk music and we play together with the students. At the beginning and end of the workshop, Thor & Olle play excerpts from their concert performance "Music from the South".

The preparation email:

Hello! How fun that you want to make flutes and play with us!

Here you will find a preparatory PDF (also attached) that all participants need to receive in good time before the workshop: https://thor.productions/ThorOlle-flojtbygge.pdf

Here you will find an instructional video, which is connected to our PDF: https://youtu.be/-bmq-ioEFjw

We also need answers to the following questions:

  1. To which address should we send postal packages?

We send a box with a bunch of flute mouthpieces. These are used as a reserve, in case any participant does not get a sound in their flute, so that the workshop can flow. We can only send the box to an address, which the person in charge on site can give to the participant.

  1. Materials, how many participants?

 We need to know if the person in charge on site acquires materials and prepares them (see PDF), or if you would like us to post them to you. If we send out the material, there is an additional cost of SEK 30 per student, plus shipping for the package. Enter the same delivery address as the postal package. note! You still need to do part of the preparation. Email your answers within 2 weeks
