@SeeingSounds I too have the same problem, I am 16 years old
And just 5' tall haha I have a larger hole at the mouth on my instrument, therefore it is extremely hard for me to do. And I can only circular breath without the digerydoo. But with practice it is getting better and more fluid. Today I built and practiced on my digerydoo for 6 hours and am now barely starting to circular breath. It's super hard haha
even with this good lesson I am still having problems and I am not able to understand the circular breathing ...if any of you can help me , please contact me
One way I've found that invariably makes my students click with circular breathing , is to tell them to fill their mouths with water, so that their cheeks are puffed out a bit. Then, with the cheek muscles, force a thin stream of water through their pursed lips, and at the same time breath through the nose.
This is circular breathing, except in place of air, you are forcing water out of your cheeks.
Breath'g & drink'g seems instinctive, & therefore easier to grasp.
@QUANTUMLORD18 Hi, and thanks for the reply. I fully understand the concept and I've tried the water glass exercise and I am able to do it. But when it comes to the didgeridoo, it's much different. The didgeridoo has a different circumference then the straw and I can't maintain the initial sound while I am breathing through my nose. The sound is not continuous and when I'm pushing the air from my cheeks the result is a squeakie sound.
wow this vid is amazing im so glad i found this so soon! and might i ask how much that didg uve got there would go for? im a huge fan of the aborigines and the instruments and that is just beautiful.
THANK YOU for this video!!! I have played didgeridoo for 2 years now, but I am really stuk on the harmonics. I eaven got the circuleair brathing myself, but the harmonics are hard... And yeah I live in FInland so I have a bit problems finding a teacher... Now I will go on again :)
Thanks for breaking up the circular breathing into easy to follow steps. I'm starting to get the hang of it. Shame about the background drone- it's a wee bit annoying!
What he just taught blows away the instructional dvd's on playing the Didge, where is this guy now? He needs to put some vids out because this is the best and most effective way of learning circular breathing by far.
Thank you from italy i made a plastic digeridoo is not bad but it's ok for a start..happy to find this lessons can't wait to try out!!!! can someone answer what is the best lenght for a Digeroo to play??? so if i am wrong i can rebuilt one ?
I vissit this sight at least 3 times a week. I only wish there was more of him he is a great teacher. He teaches not just shows off. Thanks for the vid.
ha ha, I liked the "resulting farting sound." Good practice techniques though. I learned to circular breath by spitting water and also by blowing bubbles in a glass of water while sniffing in thru my nose.

Thanks for the good explanation.
What should i do to eliminate the gape between the end of the breathing and the continuing of the sound?

Thank you, for your clear explanations.
Is was pleasure to do exercises, rotined in these two lessons.
Do you have more examples, where can I find them?
Yesterday, finding your lessons in the internet, I was so charmed Didgeridoo collection, that today began to paint my didj from an agave.
Successes to you! Gladnesses!

The only darn thing I can't do is circular breathing, I think I need stronger checks. And much more control of the air and backpressure.
Awesome video!
