Greetings!

This is AJ from Didge Project writing to wish you a great week. I am very excited about the release of our latest video, Exercises To Strengthen Breathing Muscles For Wind Instruments, which will show you how to have more power in your breath so you can play longer and stronger. Watch as we explain “diaphragmatic breathing” and show you the keys to accessing your abdominal muscles when you play a wind instrument. In the video you will also find links to bonus videos on expanding lung capacity and strengthening the muscles of the throat.

In this video you will learn the #1 key to strengthening breathing muscles for wind instruments. It really comes down to utilizing your abdominal muscles and your diaphragm. Some call this diaphragmatic breathing, and others refer to it as the “forced exhale” due to the pushing sensation with the abdominal muscles.

In this pan drum comparision video and article we show the similarities and  differences between 4 different metal pan drums. Each one has a totally unique sound yet they all share some common qualities. Some of these drums sustain longer than others and some have a richer overtone profile. Weight, size, and aesthetics are also major differences. Watch and hear the difference!

Which type of didgeridoo is better for which style of playing? Eucalyptus are often termite-hollowed didgeridoos found in Australia, while Yucca didges are grown in the Americas. One is better for drone playing and one is better for beatboxing. Find out the pros and cons of each one in this video.



In this comparison of some of the best travel didgeridoos on the market we compare the carbon fiber telescoping Airdidge, the indonesian Wooden Spiral Didgeridoo and the 4-Piece Plastic Travel Didgeridoo. Each one of these instruments has a unique set of features and different reasons why you might want to get one. Check out the video and enjoy!

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.
