Frequently asked questions

Read our frequently asked questions. Get in touch if you can't find your question!

    • Do didgeridoos have multiple tones?

      Each didgeridoo has its own basic tone. This unique tone provides the basic tone and resonance that, in addition to the shape of the didgeridoo, is a major part of the sound. The most commonly used and loved keys are those between a C and an E tone. Our team at Australian Treasures are happy to advise you on choosing the right didgeridoo.

    • I have hyperventilation, can I play didgeridoo?

      For people who have hyperventilation, are short of breath, have lung problems, suffer from lung covid, circular breathing and playing the didgeridoo can actually help.

    • Do I need to buy a didgeridoo for the online workshop?

      If you already own a didgeridoo you do not need to buy one. Sometimes your own didgeridoo may not blow properly because of a bad or old mouthpiece or the didgeridoo may be faulty without you noticing. Then blowing a note won't work either. For a relatively low fee, you can buy a whole new didgeridoo from the online course with a special package discount and be sure to blow a good didgeridoo!

    • Can anyone learn to play didgeridoo?

      Yes, didgeridoo playing is suitable for anyone to learn. We have been giving didgeridoo workshops to the education sector for many years and even pre-school and primary school children can get a sound out of it.

    • How is the didgeridoo played?

      On the didgeridoo you blow on a mouthpiece with an opening of about 3 cm diameter. Putting your mouth against the mouthpiece and vibrating your lips produces the didgeridoo's basic tone.

    • How do you choose a good didgeridoo?

      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.

    • What can I expect from the online didgeridoo workshop?

      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

    • How long does it take to learn circular breathing

      The circular breathing technique can be learnt in a few days. To keep exercising the throat muscles, 10 minutes of exercise a day is enough mastered?

    • I am short of breath, can I play didgeridoo?

      For people who are short of breath, circular breathing and playing the didgeridoo can actually help.
