learn to play the didgeridoo

I can create a drone and circular breathe into a glass of water. Now I just need to put them together to play the didge properly.

a few years ago my art teacher had us make our own didgeridoo’s and decorate them, then our music teacher taught us how to play them! it was really cool.

i loved that middle school.

i know how to take sound of my didgeridoo that a friend gave me… but i reeealy want to be able to do the circular respiration!

Now all I have to do is learn to play it

I was at a unitarian event a friend named Shea let play his didj. I realized that the thing could combine vocals, resonance, rhythms, vowel-mouthing and tounging all in one log, and i was in love. Ever since, I’ve made 3, 2 PVC, one ceramic. youtube is an amazing teacher if you want to learn (theres a creepy bloke with glazed over eyes who has some nice videos), and I found that just screwing around thinking and experimenting yielded many fruits.

Clearly the difference between having a didgeridoo and playing one seems to be ones aptitude for circular breathing. I am determined to accomplish this. I love my didgeridoo so I know I can commit to learn cicular breathing so I can be even better at it!

I’ve had one for several years, but after a few weeks of trying to learn circular breathing, I gave up. I want to learn, but I’m pretty sure I’m going to need some help – so, first things first, find a teacher!

I just ordered my first didgeridoo tonight. It should be here sometime next week (ooh I feel so impatient already). I’m excited to learn.

It all depends on where you draw the line between bein able to play. is it at circular breatheing? or just making a tone. or is it in being able to modulate the tone of the didge by the placement of your hands. If you’ve heard a REAL player then I certainly can’t do this. I’ve heard things I thought were only possible with synthesizers. but If you really want to learn go for it.

Got a Didge in C# about a week ago and I fell in love almost at once. Currently practicing and becoming a strong didgeridoo player.
