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

This is the first step in tooting and by far the most important. It’s all about the vibration, not blowing hard. Check out how to get the toot vibration

Lesson goals

• Without your didgeridoo, be able to make the fast “toot” vibration with your lips
• Make the toot sound on your didgeridoo
• Be able to play a toot for 5 seconds on your didgeridoo with one breath

Training tips

• Try putting your top lip over your bottom lip
• It’s important to have a good seal on the mouthpiece
• If you play with your didgeridoo positioned on the side of your lips, try practicing the toots with the didgeridoo to the front of your lips first, until you get more comfortable with it
• Remember, you don’t need to blow hard. It is all about the frequency at which you need to vibrate your lips
• Longer didgeridoos are generally better suited to tooting
