Greetings!

This is AJ Block wishing you a happy fall!

Today we have a great new tutorial to share with you on how to improve your rhythm. Through call and response chanting, master percussionist Glen Velez shows us how to use our voices to better our sense of musical time. Check out the new video below.

In our store we've currently got a whole bunch of instruments in stock, including RAV Drums (9 scales available), Handpans, eucalyptus and hardwood didgeridoos, Airdidges, and more. Check out the full selection at didgeproject.com/store

In good health,

AJ Block



Glen Velez is truly a master of the frame drum and he is also an excellent teacher of rhythms for musicians of all levels. I think everyone had a blast taking his workshop at Tribal Rhythms Gathering 2018 which had us singing vocal rhythms while stepping, clapping, shaking rattles and playing frame drums.

DidgeProject.com
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.
