From the Business:TRY IT OUT, FIRST LESSON IS FREE TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE HAPPY. Decades of study with maestro Hariprasad Chaurasia as well as many experiences in jazz and world music having played with many greats east and west such as Victor Wooten, Jack DeJohnette, Ramesh Misra, Debu Chauduri and others. Able to teach any location via Zoom. Western flute instruction also available with John (can play Indian melodies with western flute). Many wonderful experiences have happened since and I feel to be one of the luckiest people alive to have delved deep into music and met so many great souls. Some highlights were when I became associated with the bansuri (North Indian Bamboo flute) and met the marvelous master of the bansuri, Hariprasad Chaurasia. His sound and technique were so sublime and I was entranced. I longer could stay away and moved to India for 2 years where I met Hariprasad and he agreed to teach me! This was beyond joyful for me. The organic, healing sound of the bansuri was a healing force and I felt Indian music with this instrument held me in the heart. I followed Hariprasad to the Rotterdam Conservatorium for 12 years of study there (I commuted to Holland 3-5 times a year from Washington DC). I earned 2 degrees in World music there. Simultaneous to this musical journey I continued to study the spiritual traditions (mainly from India) and felt very close to the teaching and presence of Swami Muktananda, Ramana Maharshi, Swami Vivekananda, Ramakrishna, and others. One day a musician friend returned from a spiritual retreat with the spiritual master Adi Da Samraj and I picked him up from the airport. Right away I felt a transmission from this friend of mine. I knew immediately this was from Adi Da. A spiritual current descended on me and in a few weeks, I was given the opportunity to play for Adi Da and was overwhelmed from a tangible spiritual force from Adi Da. It was great to find out Adi Da was deeply into music and Hariprasad was one of his favorite musicians!Read more

Ratings & Reviews for Musical Instruments
I have been a student of John's for the past 8-9 years, starting when I was in middle school. I have had such a fun time learning from John, he's incredibly passionate about his teaching and his infectious joy when explaining rajas and improvisation moved onto me! John has taught me over 20+ ragas by this time, and we have even done Western music (Bach, etc.), Jazz-inspired compositions, and Irish-folk-song-inspired creations. Coming from a background in Western classical piano, I had no background on Indian music and the music theory behind it. I have learned so much from John, but the best part is how he teaches! He's extremely supportive, joyful, and passionate about what he does, and I couldn't have found a better guru!
The bansuri flute is one of the most sensual and serene instruments to come out of India...... Only a couple of Westerners have mastered its intricacy one is John Wubbenhorst.
An excellent debut by a new artist in the area of World Musi Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 1999 World Music can often be a hotch-potch of styles but Mr.Wubbenhorst has managed to avoid that in his recording debut. A flutist, who plays both the Western instrument and the Indian bamboo flute or bansuri, Wubbenhorst works with a variety of Western and Indian instruments to create a new and exciting sound. The rhythmic basis of the music, generated by Indian tabla player Sandip Barman is particularly interesting. On top of this, Wubbenhorst layers a variety of colors and patterns, and at the very top, gives us flute improvisations with a mixture of jazz and Indian influences. The end result is a sound that is clean, fresh and invigorating, leavened with moments of meditative serenity that the bamboo flute is beautifully suited for. This is a fine debut. If you enjoy jazz, World Music or any similar genres and you are a little jaded by the sameness of current issues, give Facing East a chance, I think you will be pleasantly surprised
As a teacher, John Wubbenhorst communicates a clear and profound understanding and experience of the rich tradition of Northern India’s classical music. The focus of my classes was on Rag Yaman: it’s emotional mood, melodic outline, ornamentations, variations, as well as improvisational approaches to this raga. Studying Yaman as a foundation to understanding other ragas, was a great place to begin to study this vast realm. I learned a lot from my few months of study with John, in which, at my request, he facilitated translating a bansuri approach to the western flute. I highly recommend him as a teacher.
“A stunning virtuoso display of the bamboo flute ….. the compositions and arrangements are equally impressive”
