Ever wonder how to play the Didgeridoo? Now’s your chance! This homeschool Didgeridoo class gives students the opportunity to learn how to play the world’s oldest musical instrument from Indigenous Australia, taught by Global Didgeridoo Maverick, Pitz Quattrone. Students will explore the basics of sound production, including the fundamental drone, pitch bending, rhythmic patterns created through tongue movements, vocalizations that accompany the drone, and even the famous circular breathing technique.With more than 30 years of performing, hand crafting instruments, and teaching around the world, Pitz has developed a fun, accessible curriculum that makes the Didgeridoo enjoyable for all students. Students are welcome to bring their own Didgeridoos, and Pitz will have his handcrafted, easy-to-play instruments available to use during class - with the option to purchase one at a discounted rate starting at $95, if they would like to keep practicing at home. This class is open to homeschool students of all experience levels who are ready to explore a unique and fascinating musical and cultural tradition.Activity Secondary Category
