    • Can and should women play the didgeridoo?

      According to Aboriginal tradition, women were not allowed to play didgeridoo. It would make them sterile. Now the didgeridoo was a real men's instrument according to their own tradition.

    • How do I maintain my bamboo or wooden didgeridoo?

      A didgeridoo doesn't need much maintenance. On the outside, the didgeridoo is often painted or varnished. A didgeridoo can easily withstand moisture. However, you should put the didgeridoo upright after playing so that any moisture can drain off. You can use beeswax to repair small cracks and holes in your didgeridoo. You can also use beeswax to put a mouthpiece on your didgeridoo. This is not difficult. Within 10 minutes you can fit a beeswax mouthpiece to your didgeridoo. You can learn all these techniques in the online course.

    • Can anyone learn circular breathing?

    • Where does the didgeridoo come from?

      The didgeridoo, pronounced didzjeriedoe, is a wind instrument, best known from Australia where the Aboriginal people in Northern Australia (Northern Territory) have been playing the instrument for thousands of years.
