90.00 minutes
$35.00
Preregister By 4/21. Preregistration is a must as this course includes a locally made beginner didgeridoo. No cancellations. If you cannot make it send a friend in your place.
The didgeridoo is the oldest wood instrument in the world, with some estimates placing it at 40,000 years old. In this workshop, you will learn about the history and cultural significance of the didgeridoo to the Australian Original Peoples. You will also learn about the health benefits of playing the didgeridoo. We will then learn how to make the drone, various tonguing techniques, overtones, and articulations. These will then be combined to make a basic rhythm. Additional classes will be available pending interest.
