“You have never been able to learn so much in one day!”

PROGRAM
An own didgeridoo is not required.
Two different didgeridoos (Teak wood and a slide didge Didgeribone) are available per person, which are available to you all day with your own name on them. A practice tube is also available for beginners to quickly learn the basic tone. Do you have your own didgeridoo? Definitely bring it with you.

Morning program (10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.)
Part 1: Basic techniques
Beginners: Learn to play the basic tones correctly to be able to go deeper in the afternoon.
Advanced: Refining and perfecting to make more advanced techniques possible after lunch.

Part 2: Circular breathing
Beginners: Introduction; how does it work and how do you use this breathing when playing the didgeridoo?
Advanced: Deepening and refining. A lot of attention is paid to the tongue and proper abdominal breathing and use of the diaphragm.

Lunch (1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m.)

Afternoon program (2:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.)
Beginners get the opportunity to spend more time on what was covered in the morning, such as tongue-cheek techniques, lips, jaw, and breathing components. Advanced players will focus on the isolations of different muscles that are important for didgeridoo playing. This allows you, for example, to play a double wobble or an inhaled tooth by making certain muscle groups work separately or in cooperation.

SPECIAL FEATURES
* Doors open at 9:30 a.m. (we will start at 10:00 a.m.)
* Chairs are available, but it can also be nice to play while sitting on the ground.
Do you have your own chair or cushion to sit comfortably on the ground? Feel free to bring it.
* It’s also nice to bring your own water bottle.
* A good mood and openness to learning are all you need to bring. Everything else is provided.
* Afterwards, there is the possibility to purchase a didgeridoo yourself.
