About This Class
Since 1990, I have inspired hundreds of thousands of people worldwide through didgeridoo music and educational workshops. As an active didgeridoo player and guitarist, I continue to perform at festivals and theaters both locally and internationally.
In 2004, I developed the successful "Didgeridoo & Circular Breathing for Beginners" workshop, which has helped many people, including those suffering from snoring and (sleep) apnoea, by teaching them how to use the didgeridoo to improve their breathing.
The didgeridoo has become a popular tool for addressing various breathing issues, such as snoring, apnoea, hyperventilation, and shortness of breath. Tens of thousands of people have found relief and enhanced their overall health and well-being through its practice. At Australian Treasures, we are committed to providing high-quality didgeridoos and offering educational content to help people harness the power of this ancient instrument.
Our course is specifically designed for beginners, regardless of musical experience, and focuses on two primary skills: playing the didgeridoo and mastering circular breathing. Circular breathing is a unique technique that allows you to produce continuous sound without stopping for breath. The course starts with the fundamentals, including proper lip technique to create the didgeridoo's signature "drone" sound, followed by basic rhythms and exercises to help you build your own playing style.
The course places particular emphasis on mastering circular breathing, breaking it down into easy-to-follow steps with practical exercises. By the end of the course, you will be able to play the didgeridoo with confidence and use it to enhance your health and creativity.
Join us today and embark on your didgeridoo journey!
