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!

Rhythm
dar dar (B) dee dee (B) …
Lesson goals
- Be able to play this rhythm continuously for 1 minute while taking circular breaths
- Be able to balance your breathing in and blowing out, keeping a comfortable lungful of air
- Keep the timing of your rhythm consistent
- Clearly hear the difference between the “dar” and “dee” sounds
Training tips
- When you see (B), this means take a circular breath
- When we say “breath”, this means take a circular breath
- When you first start practicing this rhythm, don’t worry about the quality of your sound, just work on getting the timing of your breaths right
- It doesn’t matter if your breathing doesn’t sound good, this is a great exercise to strengthen your circular breathing
- Experiment with the speed of your rhythm
- Make sure you don’t miss any breaths. It’s important to take small regular breaths to keep your lungs full
- Remember, use as little air as you can. You don’t need to BLOW down the didgeridoo – gentle, gentle, gentle
