What is Didgeridoo Dojo?
Didge Dojo is the Most Comprehensive “How to Play" Resource on the Planet!
We built the Dojo because so many didgeridoo players and beginners struggle because of lack of access to good quality training and in-person lessons.
The goal of Didge Dojo is to provide the closest thing to a one on one experience as possible!
With comprehensive video lessons ranging from beginner techniques like making the drone sound and circular breathing to advanced techniques like didgeridoo beatboxing presented by the hilarious Nathan Kaye, Didgeridoo Dojo has something for everyone!

Lesson overview
In this lesson, we introduce you to double tonguing. This allows you to play new sounds and is a great technique to speed up your playing
Lesson goals
- Recognise the 2 different tongue positions created from the phrases “ta” and “ka”
- Play the “ta-ka ta-ka” double tonguing technique
- Play it pronounced both softly and strongly
- Play the rhythm “ta-ka ta-ka ta-ka (B)”
Training tips
- First practice saying “ta-ka… ta-ka… ta-ka” without the didgeridoo
- Then practice it through vibrating lips
- Then play it on the didgeridoo
- The “harder” you pronounce “ta-ka”, the more it’s going to affect your drone

Hello, I have a problem with my saliva, it accumulates and I have to stop to swallow it. My question is: is there any trick or technique so that this stop is not noticeable?
Ok thanks a lot.
I already asked this question before and nobody answered to me. Am I alone in this planet?
Hi Konrad,
You are definitely not alone, and we are sorry you had to ask three times. That is on us. The full answer to your saliva question is on the Rhythm 15 lesson: https://www.didgeridoodojo.com/rhythm-library/beginner-rhythms/rhythm-15/#comment-579
One extra tip for double tonguing: the harder you pronounce “ta-ka”, the more spit you create. Try a softer, lighter “ta-ka” and practise it slowly without the didge first, then through vibrating lips, then on the didge, just like the lesson shows.
