Things like resonance, tone, ease of playing, shape, size and quality are all important. It is important to start on a didgeridoo that is easy to play. This will speed up your learning process and also motivate you to keep going. We recommend starting with a relatively cheap bamboo didgeridoo.
You can order a didgeridoo of your choice with the didgeridoo online course. Usually a cheap didgeridoo for beginners is chosen. But of course you can also opt for a wooden teak didgeridoo or professional mahogany didgeridoo. For the blowing technique on the didgeridoo, which one you choose does not matter that much.
That is different, but with regular practice you can learn circular breathing within a few days.
Yes, everyone young and old can learn circular breathing.
In the online course, you will learn the basic techniques of didgeridoo playing and the circular breathing technique. In a clear step-by-step plan, you will learn to play the didgeridoo in 24 50-minute lessons and get a good basic tone from the instrument. Of course, you will also blow Australian sounds on the didgeridoo such as the kangaroo, dingo and kookaburra! In this course, you will also learn the circular breathing technique and how to breathe circularly on the didgeridoo. With over 20 years of teaching experience, Australian Treasures is a leader in teaching the Australian didgeridoo! Some parts include: Blowing the basic tone Australian (animal) sounds Blowing rhythms Circular breathing techniques
Circular breathing is a breathing technique that allows you to continuously exhale while inhaling through your nose. With the didgeridoo this continuous exhalation can be made audible. There is a constant exhalation through which an infinite tone sounds. With good control, a long continuous tone of 15 minutes can be played with ease!
You can buy a didgeridoo in our didgeridoo online shop Australian Treasures. When you buy a didgeridoo including the online course, you get a discount on the complete course package. All our didgeridoos are tested by our didgeridoo experts. Check out the wide range of didgeridoos for beginners and advanced players at www.australiantreasures.com. With our didjes, you can also watch a demonstration video and hear and see how the didgeridoo sounds!
You can easily make a didgeridoo yourself from a PVC tube. Sometimes you don't have to do anything about it and a PVC pipe that you can buy at a hardware store is enough. The ideal length for a homemade didgeridoo is about 130cm. This length gives you a low didgeridoo tone. You can even give the tube a nice shape by heating the PVC tube and bending it to give the didgeridoo a nice branch shape. If necessary, make a beeswax mouthpiece on the didgeridoo and paint the didgeridoo with acrylic paint for a nice end result.
Yes it has the same low tone as a normal didge. The long tube that guarantees a low tone is 'rolled up' into a spiral, so to speak. Or, as with the special travel didge, 'folded' into a zigzag shape inside a wooden box. Moreover, you can easily take these didjes to lessons, performances or when you travel and still want to do your didge exercises!
Our workshops have helped many people with
circular breathing and have been able to reduce snoring as a result.
Playing didgeridoo makes you fit! I am very tired after a day's work. But after practising on the didgeridoo, I have energy again! What a great instrument this is. I never thought blowing on a didgeridoo would take so little effort. Super happy.
Everything was perfect! I was able to track the shipment at all times and the package has been delivered in excellent condition. The items match the description. Thank you!
Practising outside in the garden, I suddenly had an audience of 2 little birds, they didn't stay long, circular blowing through a straw is going great and it's already going smoother and better through the didgeridoo. Thanks Niels, your workshop provides a simple, effective approach that works very well and it feels healthy, didgeridoo playing.
Perfect material, fast delivery....top quality. Already recieved my tirth order and there are more orders in the near future. Wonderful and very service.
Didgeridoo ordered and received in only 37 hours.
Great sound
Thank you Australian Treasures
Wow - 2 weeks on and I just blew a minute-long session for the first time. Sound during inhalation and exhalation is not the same yet, but I was able to smooth that out nicely in the rhythm. So the circular breathing is coming along nicely!
Nice didges. Got four, two from other sellers and two from Australian Treasures. It's a heavy piece of wood (the one on the far left is from Australian Treasures, new. The second from the right also. The one one the far right is bamboo. The two on the left eucalyptus and the one with the colouring.. I am not sure, but it's quite light)
Delivery time and tracking were on point. I am excited and happy with the quality and sound of my digideroo. It's better than what I imagined it. I will definitely order from Australian Treasures again. Thank you.!
Participated in one of the workshops. Was a great experience!
