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

Every didge player wants to be able to do a great kookaburra. We show you how to play an AMAZING kookaburra using a combination of techniques. Warning: this is challenging!

Make sure you are comfortable with these techniques before attempting:

Kookaburra: Beginner Lessons

Gargling Vocal: Intermediate Lessons

Double Tonguing Vocal: Intermediate Lessons

Lesson goals

  • Be able to play the “gargling vocal” section of the kookaburra
  • Be able to play the “koo koo koo kaa kaa kaa” section (the beginner kookaburra)
  • Combine the double tonguing technique with the beginner kookaburra
  • Play all techniques to produce your new advanced kookaburra bird call

Training tips

  • Practice each component separately
  • Get comfortable with each technique without the didgeridoo first, then try on your didge
  • Try to use the smallest amount of air you can so you don’t run out
  • This may take quite a bit of practice to get right. Be patient, stick with it, and very soon you will have an amazing kookaburra sound
