Thanks David; you give great tips on learning to play the didge, along with circular breathing. Also, love your circular didge with the unique design and colors!
After this video, I am now a fan of yours. This is phenomenal info to chew on. Thank you so much for this video!! You are a great teacher. Lol. Good humour too! Thank you for your videos. Blessings to you and your family
Thankyou for this video! I bought a didge at a festival, learned the drone then put it in the corner and didnt know what else to do with it. Will be practising all these sounds and techniques:)
This was perfect! Thank you so much! I have been on a good drone, multiple sounds rich and full for about a year but have not played much lately. This was exactly what I needed. I can circular breathe sometimes but have been stuck on well now what to improve. I am a homeschool mom in Alaska and have been considering teaching a didg class but want more experience under my belt to get the kids going and having fun!
I'm so glad to hear that this was helpful to you! One student of mine in particular has been asking for this kind of video for a while now, and I think she was right - we need more content about what to do after the drone starts working! I'll be doing more on this topic....
Fantastic video, thanks for taking the time to make it, your video's are the best I have come across. Love the way you are laying down foundation for circular breathing even before we attempt it 👏🙏🏻
Great video thank you. This is probably strange but I always find it amusing that after playing a few minutes and then pulling it away from the mouth you can feel all that hot breath coming out lol.
Thanks for all your videos. I am a slightly advanced beginner. I have one question that may not interest others, but It has some implications for my health & for circular breathing. Here it goes: During a "normal" day to day breathe, I usually inhale approx 4 seconds & exhale for 4 seconds. That's is thankfully slower that many folks due to my yoga training. My main point is that inhales & exhales are approx equal. However, while playing the didge, including during most forms of circular breathing, this in & out ratio is often very different. I have been told that while playing one usually breathes out for a fairly long time & then one takes only a tiny sniff in (while continuing the drone). So instead of a 4 to 4 ratio, one might exhale to the count of 6----depending on the rhythm----and then sniff in for just one count. Does this sound right to you? One final note: On your website you mentioned that you might work on putting your lessons in order. I would greatly appreciate that. You are a great didge player & teacher. Keep up the good work!!!
Im about a week into this, drone seems to ok and Im starting to get a grip on a circular breathing... Got a small question - for some reason I can't get the drone by using the center of my lips, but seems ok when I place it to the side. Is this an issue, should I even try to get over, or is it ok to just stick to the side of the mouth and that's it? :) Thank you, great videos! :)
Thank you this is awesome! I find that I have a better sound and better vowel sound when I place the didge on the side of my lips. I don't want to build bad habits... Is is ok to place the to the side or should I strive to place it right at the front?
Hey! So I've got the circular breathing down. I can do it about.. ohh once or twice. But then it starts to catch up with me because my breathing-in doesn't take enough air. Maybe my cheeks aren't large enough to hold enough air? At that point I can't get enough air in my cheeks to produce a vibration that makes noise. Yikes. Any tips? Also, love the videos!!!
I have been playing the didge for 2 days now and your lessons have really thank you
I've been 'droning' for too long and not doing much more due to lack of encouragement. I really like your approach, please keep it going...
I must say you do express things clearly and understandable. Thank you for the tips.
Love the Huhhhh, Huh! can I sample that for a music?
I noticed with playing the jaw harp and throat singing it's the same vowel sounds to make the cool sounds they make
Always felt that Didge was the 'highest yoga' ;)
This lesson was really helpful in my practice on my didgeridoo. 🙏

exceptionally useful advices! Thank you very much!
Wow, this video is fantastic. I think it has helped me get closer to circular breathing in a very short t8me. Thanks!

Where'd you get that circular didge?
What comes before the drone?
Thank you this is awesome! I find that I have a better sound and better vowel sound when I place the didge on the side of my lips. I don't want to build bad habits... Is is ok to place the to the side or should I strive to place it right at the front?
Got the nuances of playing didge sounds but can’t circular breath
Thanks for the video! What kind of camera are you using?
Hey! So I've got the circular breathing down. I can do it about.. ohh once or twice. But then it starts to catch up with me because my breathing-in doesn't take enough air. Maybe my cheeks aren't large enough to hold enough air? At that point I can't get enough air in my cheeks to produce a vibration that makes noise. Yikes. Any tips? Also, love the videos!!!
Are you breathing often? Most players end up breathing every few counts or so.
What does drone mean?
Not the flying drone. It's like a sound.. continuous sound. Try listening other didgeridoo music videos.
High five
I DONT GET IT!
