About Circular Breathing
Circular breathing is undoubtedly the most sought after didgeridoo technique. It’s what every beginner didgeridoo player wants to be able to do… NOW!
Some people think it is a mystical technique that you can be blessed with, others think that it is something that naturally comes after you have been playing for a long time. Neither of these are true.
The fact is, circular breathing is a series of simple physical actions that anyone can learn. In these lessons, we break the circular breathing down into small steps. Be sure to practice each step until it’s easy, then move onto the next. This is the fastest way to learn the circular breathing technique.
It might take an hour to get it… a day… or even a month. If you persist and follow our steps, you WILL be circular breathing!

A huge thank you to everyone who signed up to be a Didgeridoo Dojo test subject.
We were wondering if we’d actually get 25 people to sign up for the testing phase and we’ve had nearly 300 people apply! Better than we could have ever imagined!
We’re still a couple of weeks away from being ready to unleash the site on our randomly selected testing group of 25 people. We’ll keep you up to date via email, the blog and our Facebook page with new developments so make sure you check in regularly.
What is Didgeridoo Dojo?
Didge Dojo is a project we’ve been working on for a while and is a completely new way to learn the Didgeridoo online. To stay up to date with the Didge Dojo launch schedule, head to DidgeridooDojo.com and enter your email address in the box on the right hand side of the site.
We’re also putting the finishing touches on the new Didge Dojo logo and would love to know what you think of it.
We’ll be releasing a sample of the Didge Dojo stuff over the next few weeks so look out for that too!
When playing a didgeridoo it is inevitable that a fair amount of moisture (dribble) is going to get on the inside. Most brass wind instruments have a “spit valve” to deal with this. With the didgeridoo, this valve is the end/bottom. If you play for long enough, you may see some dribble come out the end – don’t panic, this is normal .
Sheet music for didgeridoo? Not something that exists yet as a standard amongst didgeridoo players. This is probably due to the didgeridoo being so unique to the individual. In fact it’s one of the beautiful things about the instrument, there are no rules.
Having said that, it is possible to write down your didgeridoo sounds and rhythms and it comes in really handy when trying to communicate your favorite rhythms to others. We used this technique in the Playing the Didgeridoo instructional CD series to write all of the rhythms taught, in the booklets provided.
Here is a guide to get you going. Feel free to add your own flavor to it or customize it to your needs. Read the rest of this entry »
Playing didge along with a drummer can be a slightly higher-energy pastime than solo didge playing. It requires both players to ‘lock-in’ together, listen carefully to each other and feel different aspects of the same rhythm while also being able to signal any changes to one another.
We’ve asked three of the best drum and didge players, Mark Hoffman from eMDee, Tom Fronza from Analogue Birds and Si from Wild Marmalade what makes a good didge ‘n drum outfit.
Did you know that you can listen to every didgeridoo being played in our online store?
How cool!
You can listen to how it sounds, before you purchase it! That makes it even easier to select a didgeridoo you love the look of, and also love the sound of.
To listen to any didgeridoo, navigate to the individual didgeridoo page and click the Play button on the MP3 player near the green Buy Now button. Easy!
Hello didgeridoo breath team. I ordered my first didgeridoo 1 week ago and I am very impresed. The packaging was great and when I opened the box I was speechless. I just wanted to say thanks for a quality didgeridoo.
