Alan Harris (Noongah Aboriginal) and his mob take you on a journey deep into the Australian outback to learn all about the didgeridoo. See first hand how termite hollowed eucalyptus tree branches are found, selected and hand crafted into didgeridoos. Then watch and learn how to play the didj from a true master of this ancient Aboriginal instrument. Alan teaches all the basic playing techniques including a focused, easy to understand method for circular breathing. He shows you that anyone can learn this in one step, as well as animal sounds and rhythms! You will also see and hear the didgeridoo in its traditional setting at a bonfire "corroboree", as it accompanies Aboriginal dance, and a unique perspective filmed on a desert playa in Western Australia. Start playing right away! This excellent didgeridoo video features:
- Simple step-by-step instructions on how to create the basic drone on any didgeridoo
- Easy to follow lessons on more advance techniques, including animal sounds, circular breathing, and rhythms
- Excellent educational source for Aboriginal culture and traditional context for didgeridoo music
