Thanks! :D

Great :-) Thanks for your comment and I'm delighted to read that I'm motivating you to learn the basics well (which aren't such a pain and are so beneficial!).

Thanks for your comment. I also play the didgeridoo a little more technically with my own musical research, my last album is here if ever: songwhip.com/gauthieraube/lenvol But I'll take the compliment :-)

It's in english (or french). Unfortunately, I dont speak spanish... It's here: www.wakademy.online/en/the-art-of-the-didgeridoo/

I'm not sure I understand your question, but here's what I can say: - on a toca didgeridoo, there will often be a slightly higher pressure which can give a sensation of ease. - But from my point of view, it's not worth spending the money on this type of instrument, which isn't very good... - I recommend the following instruments for beginners: www.wakademy.online/en/blog/didgeridoo-crafters/what-didgeridoo-must-one-start-with/ - If you're talking about continuous breathing, have you checked out the free course I offer on Wakademy, my didgeridoo school? It's here: www.wakademy.online/en/lessons-the-circular-breathing/ Personally, I'm not a big fan of the straw and glass of water. I don't think it adds much because there's really too little pressure... Don't hesitate to let me know if I haven't made myself clear, I'll be happy to answer!

@WakademyDidgeridooSchool Thank you very much for the reply, and for the links. I'm going to try with pvc again; mine is a little bigger than what you recommend (38mm instead of 30-32mm - maybe this is a little too big for me as a beginner). I presume the recommended size is the external diameter? I've actually gone through your breathing tutorial previously, and it was very helpful. I'm just stuck at the part where I'm making the 'impolite' noises with my lips. Just can't seem to get beyond that point. Thank you very much again, I will stick with it.

@@Ghost_Os Indeed, the last step is a delicate one and can be time-consuming. You really have to try to “push” the air less and “crush” your cheeks less... For the diameter, 38mm is fine (I often talk about the inside diameter, but that's not very important). On the other hand, the mouthpiece must be 30mm, otherwise it's too complicated to play. You'll need a PVC reducer. I hope this helps!

@WakademyDidgeridooSchool Thank you very much for your attention and help, I truly appreciate it. I hope you have a happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year 🍷

​@@Ghost_Os My pleasure, I'm always happy when I can help around the didgeridoo! Merry Christmas too!

Hey 🙌 ! Wich Country?!

@@WakademyDidgeridooSchool Peru. I love the didgeridoo and this kind of videos, thanks for it.

@jesusacuna8288 Enjoy your didgeridoo in Peru! :D

Thanks Jenn!

Yes, it's true that the didgeridoo has a big influence. But I have to say that on our courses, the students are often surprised by the sound that comes out of their didgeridoo when I show them how to play with the right pressure!

Ahaha Yes exactly ;-)

Thanks! :-)

Hey Dirk! Happy that video will help you to play what you love to hear from the didgeridoo. :D

Oh thanks for your comment! Keep going!

Thanks! I'm preparing a new video for this week or next week!

Hello, the standard for mouthpieces is 30 mm. But you're talking about 30 mm. But 28 or 32 mm makes a big difference! Have you started circular breathing? If so, you can access my free course here. It might help! www.wakademy.online/en/lessons-the-circular-breathing/ And above all, I wish you lots of fun!

Thanks for your comment!

Ah yes, sorry for that! I'm doing my best but I'm still bad in that exercise! An other solution is to learn French, I'm much better on that. 😁

Great, I'm glad to see that my video motivates you! Happy learning!

Yes Ash Dargan had a great style!

Thanks for your comment! Wish all the best with your didge! See you for the next video then.

Great! I'm happy to help! Let me know if you can play it!

Je te comprends ! C'est effectivement une des grosses difficultés. J'ai eu beaucoup de mal pendant longtemps. Un truc qui m'a bien aidé est d'enregistrer les deux parties et de les coller l'une à l'autre pour pouvoir les ré-écouter encore et encore. En revanche, ça demande un peu de matériels (quoique un téléphone suffirait pour ce genre de mémo) et surtout un peu de connaissance technique avec les logiciel d'enregistrement (c'est la base et ça ira vite à apprendre). Pour résumer : 1. Tu te mets un métronome dans une oreille 2. Tu enregistres le premier rythme avec le micros de ton téléphone (12 fois d'affiler suffisent par exemple) 3. Tu enregistres le second rythme (toujours avec le métronome) 4. Ensuite, tu importes les deux fichiers audio dans la même piste de ton séquenceurs (il en existe des gratuits). 5. Tu découpes le premier rythme en laissant 4 répétions et pareil avec le second. 6. Tu les colles l'un à l'autre. 7. Et tu écoutes encore et encore jusqu'à ce que ça rentre. Perso, ça m'a beaucoup aidé.

Merci, je me sens moins seul déjà 😅😂 Je vais tester ça ✌

C'est une vaste question à laquelle je ne pourrais répondre juste comme ça en commentaire. Mais je note ça dans ma (longue) liste d'idées pour une prochaine vidéo !

Ouiiiii 🙏🏼

Merci ! Je pense continuer ce format, ça à l'air de plaire. Mais faudra que je le fasse aussi en français !

Ash Dargan también es un mentor para mí y ha influido mucho en mi vida como jugador.

Ah great! Yes I’m like you, I like yo play that rhythms, it’s perfect to work the dynamic!

Thank you for your comment! It's quite challenging for me to develop in English, so I'm happy to read your comment. :-) Hope your "Eureka Springs drum circle" was great. 👍 Maybe one day, I will come in US to teach and play, it will be great!

You could send me a short video of yourself to show me on WhatsApp and I might be able to guide you: wa.me/message/NRMMBFQ5X6NLH1 It's something I reserve for my students who take my online course "The Art of Didgeridoo", but I'd be happy to help you! Just remind me the context and this conversation, I've got a lot of messages.

It's mean that the An arrow extends the sound of the previous card. For example, for "to WA ti ->", the "ti ->" lasts as long as the "to WA". This makes it possible to write rhythms with longer or shorter sounds. If you get lost, listen to the rhythm and you'll hear that the "ti" lasts longer than the "to" or the "WA". Is that clearer?

I'm not sure I understand the question but I'll try to answer: I don't speak into the didgeridoo, but I do articulate the sounds. In other words, I'll say "to WA ke" for example, but I won't use my voice (unless I want to create an effect). It's basically the same for all didgeridoo sounds. And I will breath on the WA. As for breathing, it comes up a lot because the rhythm of the didgeridoo is built around it. I talk about it in this video: th-cam.com/video/XxlnduK4OjU/w-d-xo.html Does that answer your question?

Thanks! 🤗✊

Yes metronome is life!! 🥁 And you are right, it's a long way to remember what we played at the beginning!

Oh thank you for your very nice comment! So start playing!

@WakademyDidgeridooSchool Here in Portland, Oregon, we just might have a didgeridoo community, lol. Not going to play, but I'm definitely going to listen more. :)

Thanks Douglas for your nice comment. Hope you are well and you keep didging!

@@WakademyDidgeridooSchool Playing with a friend and have played at the Kunstmusée in Zurich at a private event with 260 people and just got back from Alsace where we played 2 days at the annual Patchwork festival in Sainte-Marie-aux-Mine. About 2,000 people passed through the exhibit where we played. Lots of positive feedback. But I still come back to you to improve my rhythms and to review your lecons which have been invaluable. Congratulations on the English videos.

@@douglasgrenville9410 Great for public performances, but music is made to be shared. Congratulations Douglas. For my part, I met a certain Sven during my work placement in Virton, a Flemish Belgian. He'd been to Croatia for the Dubravko course and told me he'd met you there. I see you're still out and about! Looking forward to seeing you again Douglas

Oh thanks to takes the time to share your feedback! So enjoy and practice!

Hi! Did you check my frisson's lessons about circular breathing? It's here: is.gd/XWgZpP And if you need help, just send me a very quick video (1 min it's enough) on whatsApp, I will help you (for free of course): wa.me/message/NRMMBFQ5X6NLH1 Juste remember me the context (I receive a lot of messages). You will do it!

@@WakademyDidgeridooSchool I wrote a response but I don't think it went through. Thank you for your response. I have signed up to your lessons. If I need further help, I will send you a message on what's app with a video and refer to the context of our conversation here on you tube. Thank you for your help. It's appreciated.

@@oneglobeoneloveofficial OK 👍 I'm a bit late with my emails, but I didn't see your email... Anyway, don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I'm here to help!

@@WakademyDidgeridooSchool a bit confused. I signed up for your free 8 lessons on circular breathing and will start working on it. If I find I'm struggling I will WhatsApp message you with a 1 minute video and refer to this you tube conversation for context. Does that make sense?

@@oneglobeoneloveofficial I reply but we already spoke on WhatsApp, so you understood well. 👍

Oh Great! That's the power of metronome and small breathing. All the secret of playing great rhythm in the didgeridoo is there. Keep going! And see you for the next video. :D

Thanks!

Yes, that could be an avenue (although I don't know whether thoughts consume oxygen in such a significant way). However, as far as observing the game is concerned, I'd still encourage you to observe while you're playing too, but try to be as detached as possible, because it's in the action that the observation will take place. It's all up to me!

Thanks Chritophe for this nice comment. I really appreciate!

Oh tanks for your comment, I'm glad to become one of your online didge teacher! See in the next video then.

Thank you Eric! Need to work on the next online course now! :D

Thanks for the comment ! :-)

Hi! Im' not giving anymore individual lessons because I don't have time for it (Wakademy take a big part of my time). But I have the online courses lessons for the basic technics: is.gd/mwrCuD You will have my personal feedback In audio each month during 6 months. I know it's not personal lesson but my students are happy with the support! But maybe you are an advanced didgeridoo player, so then I will launch a new online course about the 7 circular breathing this summer.

@@WakademyDidgeridooSchool great. Thank you.

Thanks for the precision, I didn't know that. But I'm going to keep this term anyway because I prefer to call it that rather than "toot". Because, for me, toot limits the understanding of the possibilities because it's an onomatopoeia that seems to say that you're creating an "overtone" with just a t (not to mention the t at the end which makes no sense). In short, I'm nitpicking but it seems important to me! Hope you are well!

@@WakademyDidgeridooSchool Fyi, these are also known as "trumpet tones". Sounds better than "toot" lol

@@Luke-ih1oc Yes! Im' totally agree, I really don't like "toot"! I used to call them "Overtone" also. But sometimes I still call him like most English-speaking players... I'll remember your comment and I'll be talking about overtone now ;-)

Thanks Mike! For me too, Ash was a very very great influence!

Thanks Douglas, I'm sure you remember that rhythms! ;-)
