| Greetings!
This is AJ from Didge Project and I'm excited because today we are releasing our full schedule for the Tribal Rhythms Gathering. Now you have access to our day by day guide, and if you can only make it out for one day, you can choose that day based on what's happening.
In just two weeks Alash Ensemble, Glen Velez, Maestro Manuel Rufino, Dream Seed, Sonark Trio and many other great acts will converge at our beautiful retreat location in the Catskills for a gathering like none other. Those of us who are lucky enough to spend time with these artists are certain to receive something very special.
Looking forward to see you there!

| | | | | | | | In Tuvan throat singing, the performer produces a fundamental pitch and—simultaneously—one or more pitches over that. Often, singers travel far into the countryside looking for the right river, or go up to the steppes of the mountainside to create the proper environment for throat-singing.

| | We finally got our hands on the RAV B Celtic Minor Double Ding and now we understand what all the hype is about. We put together this video overview of the different elements of this particular model, the chords you can play on it and what "double ding" really means.

sounds such as the kookaburra, the dingo and the “kangaroo”. We learned
to play these sounds from Aboriginal Artist Lewis Burns. This video was
recorded live at the 2017 Central Park Didgeridoo Gathering in New York
City. |

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
