These one hour lessons will give you heaps of information and techniques to fill many hours of practice at home. If you would like to review any of these techniques, see how it's done again, or just continue to build up your skills, you can always come back for more lessons as many times as you want.
If you have particular requirements or would like to pick and choose from the above lesson topics, I have happy to customize lessons to suit your needs.
And don't worry if you are just a beginner. I have had many students who were unable to make a basic drone when they first came to me. It wasn't too long before they were making some great sounds.
You will get the most out of your lesson if both your mouthpiece and didgeridoo are functioning properly before you come. Sometimes people can be let down by the quality of their mouthpiece or didgeridoo to the point where they can't make any sound, even though it's not their fault.
Make sure you have read all about mouthpieces and what makes a good didgeridoo before you come. This should tell you everything you need to know about the quality of your didgeridoo and how you can adjust your mouthpiece for ease of playing. Having a didgeridoo that allows you to at least make some sound will be of great benefit when having a lesson.
If you're still not sure about whether your didgeridoo is any good, don't worry. Bring it along and we'll see if we can make a sound out of it yet. And if you don't even have a didgeridoo, that's fine. I've got a few you can learn on to see if didgeridoo is the thing for you!
