Lip stretching is the fundamental warm-up for didgeridoo playing and it’s all about preparation. So before you touch the didge, before you buzz your lips, do these lip stretches. Also if someone comes to me and says they don’t know how to do didgeridoo lip buzzing, or they can’t even buzz their lips, I show them these lip stretches.
This video is an excerpt from our Live Didgeridoo Q&A on YouTube (replay here) that happened on Jan. 2, 2022.

In our new video, Didge Project team members take you through a sampling of what crystal bowls are all about and some ideas about what you can do with them.
Crystal singing bowls are ideal for creating drone infused environments which you can sing in or play any other musical instrument with. In this video you will see demonstrations by Jerry Walsh and Ixchel Prisma using the bowls musically. |
|
| The crystal bowl set we feature in this video, made by Meinl, and sold by Didge Project, is tuned to 432 hertz (hz). Most western instruments in our modern era are tuned to 440 hz, but it is said, and there have been a lot of studies on this, that the tuning of A = 432 hz is actually more harmonious with the resonance of the universe.
A lot of musicians, sound healers and practitioners are now switching over to 432 hz and buying all their fixed pitch instruments in 432 hz. Of course if you have a tunable instrument like a guitar a sliding didgeridoo or trombone or a tunable woodwind, you can choose whether to tune to 440 hz or 432 hz. These are different tuning systems and we do highly suggest that you look into it and check out the differences.

| 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. Visit us for great music
