I have been teaching how to play the didgeridoo and the circular breathing technique for quite a number of years now. Learning to play the didgeridoo is fun and just takes a little practice once the technique is mastered. Playing the didgeridoo is a great way to relax or meditate. The vibrations are very grounding and have health benefits too.
The didgeridoo is the world's oldest woodwind instrument. It originated in Australia in a region called Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory. Authentic Aboriginal didgeridoos are made in traditionally oriented communities from the various eucalyptus species. The eucalyptus tree is eaten from the inside by termites, leaving the hard wood on the outside making it hollow.
Non-traditional didgeridoos can be made from PVC piping, glass, fibreglass, metal, clay, hemp and carbon fibre... Other wooden didgeridoos can be drilled or split in two then hollowed out and rejoined, or they can be made from plants like bamboo.
