How do you play the dirigidoo?

Answer 1

# Sit down. It will be more comfortable and easier to drone for a longer period of time if you're sitting. # Relax. Get your mouth wet, your lips loose, and your breath coming easy. Have a drink ready, if you're a bit dry. # Hold the didgeridoo in front of you. Find a comfortable way to hold it steady. Some people like to hold the end of the instrument with their feet. # Choose your playing style. You can play the didgeridoo directly in front of your mouth, or off to the side of your lips. Each way has its own benefits, and one may be more comfortable to you. # Loosen your lips and blow through them like, "Brbrbrbrbrbrbr." If you are familiar with playing brass instruments, this will be something like getting ready to play a tuba. # Bring your lips to the mouthpiece to seal, but not too hard. You want to leave room for your lips to move a little. # Blow the same loose raspberry. You may make some ugly noises at first, but the didgeridoo will help you find the right note by tightening or loosening your lips. # If you're tooting a high note like a Trumpet, you may either be holding your lips too tight, or blowing too hard. You're not trying to move the air through the tube, you're just trying to get it to vibrate. # Don't hum into the tube. (At least, not yet.) That's not how you get the drone started. # If you've found the right vibration, you should be getting a low, rumbly note out of the didgeridoo. It should be easy to maintain the note with just a little bit of air pressure. This is called the drone.

Put lips into top of didge,deep breath, and blow in a controlled way,vibrating the lips as you blow.So,firstly get the sound happening.Now the hard part-circular breathing.While you are blowing into the didge,you need to inhale more air at the same time.Inhaling each breath should not effect the sound other than working the inhale into the rhythm.The good news is that we used to circular breathe when,as babies,we were being breast or bottle fed.Practise,practise,practise...and listen to contemporary didge recordings.
