In this handpan lesson, Tacta Handpans founder and chief craftsman Rafael D’Arco shares how to play beautiful arpeggios and scales. By learning these 3-beat patterns, you will be able to play in the relaxed meditative style heard at the beginning of this video.



Playing didgeridoo in repeating cycles of 3 or 6 beats creates some  unique rhythmic opportunities. By learning these cycles, you will have a lot more options to play with, especially when you begin to combine them with other didgeridoo sounds, as you will see in this video.



We've categorized answers so you can jump directly to each question.

In our live Q&A on Nov. 18 AJ answered many questions. Now we've categorized the questions so you can jump straight to the answers. Here's a sampling of a few of the questions (click each time stamp to jump to the reply):
  • 13:06 When I circular breathe I seem to end up with more air than less air. How do I regulate this so I don’t end up with full lungs?
  • 30:56 How do you manage spitting saliva while playing?
  • 57:37 How do you layer sounds on the didgeridoo?
  • 01:01:31 Is there a connection to the size and shape of the mouthpiece and ease of playing?

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.
