Playing DIDGERIDOO - Further Studies Part 1

This is the most comprehensive didgeridoo manual in the world.

It’s a course for :
- learning to play, and making real progress
- playing advanced techniques and styles
- playing professional modern didgeridoo
- teaching didgeridoo

This new book is a excellent supplement to the first book John wrote DIDGERIDOO - A Complete Guide. This first book originally released in 1993 became very popular, with seven reprints and the development of a second edition.

John has now written Playing DIDGERIDOO - Further Studies Part 1 aimed at students of intermediate and advanced levels. The inclusion of an introductory section, however, makes the tutor accessible to even those who are completely new to didgeridoo.

Available direct from Didgeridoo Australia for only AUD $25 plus postage. Pay via cheque, money order or direct deposit.

Despite the growing interest in didgeridoo playing worldwide, there are few texts on the subject, especially above starter level.  This is the only book available that allows dedicated didgeridoo students to become competent players without years of personal tutorage from professional didgeridoo performers and teachers.  This book is user-friendly and has been thoroughly tested with students of a wide range of ages, abilities and musical backgrounds. All lessons are written in Didg-Tab®, a notational system for didgeridoo, developed by John.  It is not necessary for students to be able to read traditional music to understand this system, which is similar in principle to guitar tabulature..

This book is dedicated to Ron Hurley,

a great Murri artist, a great man,

a good friend sadly missed

“John's musical background as a player of didgeridoo, guitar and blues harmonica sees the provision of many practical ideas for performance and rehearsal. There is much here for didgeridoo players of all levels of experience who wish to continue to develop their playing abilities.  John's skill and experience as a teacher and musician, his continued investigations into Aboriginal culture and his ability to inspire others to continue to pursue lifelong learning, combine successfully to produce a comprehensive tutor for this amazing instrument”.
