| | Hello Out There!
This is AJ Block and I want to wish you a fantastic day. Today we released a new video on didgeridoo rhythms you can play by combining different tongue sounds. Our previous video, "A Popular Didgeridoo Rhythm and How To Play It," has been doing really well on YouTube, and today's new video comes as the next high quality lesson in our rhythm series.
Didge Deals are still going on! There are still 3 eucalyptus didgeridoos (which you see in this video) that are on sale. These amazing traditional instruments valued at $750 are now available for as low as $450! I definitely suggest you take a look at our store and claim these one-of-a-kind instruments.
RAV Drums in the A Integral and E Low Pygmy scales are now in our store! These are some of the nicest sounding instruments to play and we are very happy to be selling them in our store. Check out the new videos below.
In other news I will be teaching an live online song class at the Sacred Song School in Brooklyn,
this coming Wednesday, November 15 at 7pm EST. I will most likely be
sharing songs I have gathered from the Hebrew tradition, the
Umbanda/Orixa tradition, and American Indian traditions. Sign up to tune
in live and/or watch the class recording.
Lastly, I want to thank all of you who have been giving us great feedback on all of our videos. As you will see in in today's Tongue Rhythms video, we highly value your input and will be creating new content based on what we hear from you.
Happy day!
AJ

| | The didgeridoo rhythms shown in this video combine different sounds you can make with your tongue an should ultimately give you more playing options as you explore the instrument. Once you learn the different tongue sounds, you can start adding your voice to create an additional layer of sound and open up infinite possibilities.

Cultivate
your connection to sacred sound, chanting, mantra, folkloric and
healing
songs from around the world. To learn, carry and
sing a sacred song is an ability we all have, we simply need to tap into
it. In our school, we invite you to tap into your own ability to use
sacred song as a study, practice and way of prayer and expression. Each
class focuses on a selection of songs, where we will learn the
pronunciation,
translation, and intention of the songs, as well as covering the melodic
and rhythmic structure.

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. Visit us for great music
resources at www.didgeproject.com |
