Happy Holidays!
We here at Didge Project are super excited because not only is our sale online, but we are also participating in the semi-annual Shamanic and Indigenous Arts Market at The Ark in Brooklyn! If you haven't checked out the great prices in our sale, I highly suggest you head over to our store to see all the great stuff we've got.
**Big update: We've dropped the price on the last 3 didges in our Yucca 700 series to $250! You just can't beat that price for a handmade instrument.
Below is a quick overview of some of our hottest sale items.
Lastly, many of our subscribes produce their own music and are asking what are the best ways to have that music heard by people around the world? For this reason we've decided to produce this week's new article, "The 10 Best Online Platforms to Promote Your Music" complete with videos on how each platform works.
Wishing you a great week and many more to come.

A sound strategy to promote your music online appears to be the key for many independent artists these days. In the old music promotion model, artists would spend hours (days
even), creating a mixtape, preparing for one shot with a record label.
Music promotion has now transformed into a place where the artists can
put in their own work to build a following across a variety of
platforms. Here we share some of
the best online platforms to promote your music, giving you a very real
shot at your chance in the limelight. |

In this handpan lesson, Tacta Handpans
founder and chief craftsman Rafael D’Arco shares how to play beautiful
arpeggios and scales. By learning these 3-beat patterns, you will be
able to play in the relaxed meditative style heard at the beginning of
this video.

Playing didgeridoo in repeating cycles of 3 or 6 beats creates some unique rhythmic opportunities. By learning these cycles, you will have a lot more options to play with, especially when you begin to combine them with other didgeridoo sounds, as you will see in this video.

We've categorized answers so you can jump directly to each question.
In our live Q&A on Nov. 18 AJ answered many questions. Now we've categorized the questions so you can jump straight to the answers. Here's a sampling of a few of the questions (click each time stamp to jump to the reply):
- 13:06 When I circular breathe I seem to end up with more air than less air. How do I regulate this so I don’t end up with full lungs?
- 30:56 How do you manage spitting saliva while playing?
- 57:37 How do you layer sounds on the didgeridoo?
- 01:01:31 Is there a connection to the size and shape of the mouthpiece and ease of playing?
To see the full categorized listing of the questions, head over to the YouTube page.

| Didge
Project is a blog, youtube channel, series of courses and events,
instrument store and a collective of musicians who want to help you use
music as a tool for uplifting yourself and others around you.
On
our site you will find tips and tutorials to help you become a better
musician, didgeridoo lessons, instrument features and reviews, and
reports on the latest scientific research and spiritual discoveries
merging through the medium of sound.
When
we began in 2008 our main focus was on teaching how to play the
didgeridoo, a wind instrument originating in aboriginal Australia and
also said to be present in ancient Mayan times. After working with
countless people it became apparent that most musicians play multiple
instruments and that we have the community resources to help all
musicians get better results. While we still provide didgeridoo lessons,
classes and programs, our focus is to provide tutorials for music and
instruments from all around the world. Visit us for great music
resources at www.didgeproject.com |
