| | | In Tuvan throat singing, the performer produces a fundamental pitch and—simultaneously—one or more pitches over that. Often, singers travel far into the countryside looking for the right river, or go up to the steppes of the mountainside to create the proper environment for throat-singing.
Alash Ensemble (http://www.alashensemble.com), seen here, is one of the most celebrated Tuvan Throat Singing groups. Alash and its individual members have consistently won top honors in world throat singing competitions.

sounds such as the kookaburra, the dingo and the “kangaroo”. We learned
to play these sounds from Aboriginal Artist Lewis Burns. This video was

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
