You do not need to know how to read western music to play these rhythms, just follow along with the instructions on screen. The rhythm in this video is a 3 beat rhythm (similar to what would be called a waltz in classical music) and variations.

In this video, Will MacGavin of MacGavin Woodworks plays 6 agave didgeridoos that he made himself. Now you can hear for yourself the difference between the shorter didgeridoos and the longer ones. In general the longer the instrument, the lower the pitch. These instruments are fantastically lightweight and now available in the Didge Project store.

What are the similarities and differences between handpans and RAV drums? In this video we compare the newly updated 2019 RAV Drum with an Aura Handpan in the same identical Celtic Minor scale.

| 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 |
