My youngest son did his grade four science fair project last year on the Didj, how its made, how it produces sound and how you play it. We used the instructions for the PVC Didj on your site and downloaded a few of you sound files and found a great picture online of a aboriginal player. I was amazed at how many of the kids and even a few teachers hadn't heard of the Didj, so I guess the most common question was," What is a Didj?" |
The Didj is an amazing musical instrument brought into being by Australian Aboriginal people. |
Clement from France |
How do you do to play on this instrument? |
First I blow into and when I'm blowing I move my lips like a horse or like if I want to imitate a motor so I can do the drone |

Although similar to playing a trumpet to get the basic drone you also vocalize different sounds words nature's sounds change the shape of your mouth air pressure and a lot more. Also learning to circular breathe is a real key to the overall impact of the didj. |

How do you do the circular breathing |
You do not blow into the didge You must squeeze the air in; use the cheeks as you would the air bag on the bagpipes. |
Rodrigo Del Castillo Negrete from Mexico |
The most common question I have heard about the didgeridoo comes from people that don't know what the didgeridoo is they ask: What is that instrument, and how is it played. |
What I answer is that it is merely a tube in simple terms. very similar to a trumpet it works as an amplifier to your lips what you do in your lips it is amplified through the didgeridoo. Also that it is an australian aboriginal instrument very old. And in terms of the actual play it is the same as closing tight your jaw and gently the lips and blowing. Also that there are various types of playing and that you can modify you cheeks lips tongue and vocals and air blown to make it sound different. |

What possessed you to learn how to play the Didjeridu? |
I was always drawn to the sound of the Didj even before I knew what I was hearing (movie soundtracks etc). I also kept seeing references to the benefits of the Circular Breathing technique for coping with Anxiety. The combination of being perplexed by the sound and the challenge and potential benefits of learning CB were powerful motivators for me. Also I was going through a major song writer's cramp and complete lack of desire to play the Guitar which had been a major passion for me for over 30 years. The Didj challenged me and gave me a whole new way to express my musicality. Without a doubt doing CB for 20 or 30 minutes has a very balancing effect on the Human Organism almost Adaptogenic in nature. And of course it's a lot of fun! |
