2. Didgeridoo beginners tutorial: Tongue

[@petermarshall7882]

Very helpful and enjoyable. Though I've practised a little over 16 mths I didn't feel I was progressing well, but playing along with you I realize that my tongue cheeks throat and diaphragm had all benefited from the practice. I find your pedagogy is allowing me to play sounds quite easily that I didn't know I was capable of. It's great to learn from various players but I think Mama might be moving to the top of my most valued instructor list. Very glad to have stumbled across your channel.

[@DidgeMama]

Thank you for your nice comments! Keep practicing and enjoying and you willen great for sure!❤️☀️🎶

The best class ever! ❤❤❤

Oh thank you!!! I'm so glad you enjoyed my video. Keep enjoying.

In the UK, rolling the 'R' was more commonplace when I was a child and started dying out about that time. English is basically old German, and rolling the 'R' is or was commonly spoken. I still roll when speaking as I was taught and my family are of latino origin. The Cubans do a lot of rolling the 'R'. Great video 👍 ❤

[@DidgeMama]

@@RobbyFindlay-uq2dy how cool Robby! Yes English is very much related to Frysian language. And Spanish RR is perfect. Enjoy the tutorial and thanks for your comment. ❤️🎶🤩

Hey Didge Mama! 😊 Thank you for giving us this unique opportunity! Very happy to learn from a Pro like you 🙏 Personally never succeeded in circular breathing.

[@Ghost_Os]

Total beginner; I don't even have a didgeridoo yet... You just taught me more than any other video to date (I've probably watched clise to 100). Practicing with just my mouth, and I'm getting harmonic throat singing with the lip vibration. And it actually sounds kind of cool, haha. Thank you so much for the video!

[@DidgeMama]

I’m glad, buy a plastic tube to start practicing 4cm diameter and 1.20m long. And keep at it 😀❤️🙏

[@Ghost_Os]

@@DidgeMama I actually just returned from doing that, although it's 1.3m in length. Now I have to learn to get a proper seal around my mouth - no matter what I lose it around the corners. I think I will be needing the beeswax. Also keeping the lips vibrating while my mouth is against the tube is surprisingly challenging. Should I need a very firm pressure, or a lighter contact? Thank you very much for the encouragement, I will stick with it 😊

[@DidgeMama]

@@Ghost_Os yes loosing the seal is not good, bit of beeswax is good, you can also sand it in the shape of you mouth ). Good luck and have fun!❤️🎶

[@bonzeroo]

Very entertaining and informative video! I was aware of how one uses their tongue to create certain tonalities, but your video clearly demonstrates this technique. For want of a better term, the German "growling 'R' " sounds seems to fit in quite well. As an aside, I personally have difficulty prouncing the "R" sound in English, as it sounds like the letter "Ah". Lol. Pronouncing the Russian word "Здравствуйте" (zdravstvuyte) - "Hello" was a complete tongue-twister for me as well . Obviously a good exercise for utilising this tongue technique! Thanks ever so much for creating and posting this remarkable video! Cheers! 🍻

Hey Lies, first i want to thank you for responding. Second, have a nice day. Third, the questions: when your tongue goes in/out does it scrapes your pallet? Far out does it touch your teeth? Far in is it like the tip of your tongue touches the bottom of your mouth. You know where the tongue is connected to the mouth? Thank you very much Lies, your help is priceless 💜

[@DidgeMama]

Hi there dear Yeti, Thank you and thanks for your question! The sides of my tongue touches the sides of my pallet and top molars but the middle tongue doesn’t touch but is very close to it. In front of your mouth the tongue doesn’t touch your front teeth, but again super close to doing so. And to the back as far as you can pull in into your throat. I hope this is clear. ❤️🎶☀️

[@bemuzic]

thanks so much for these videos. I've been playing a homemade PVC pipe didge for a couple of months and am going to work through them. Very helpful! I followed this one up to the R bit. Are you actually vocalizing the R sound or is it just the toungue movement? Love the sound it makes but can't get anywhere near it atm. I found the bit about harmonics interesting. I can hear them when playing the didge, but my husband can't...

[@DidgeMama]

My pleasure, I’m not vocalizing so it’s just a tongue move. And yes, harmonics not everybody hears them. You have to sort of train your ears to hear them, so it’s very possible you’re doing it but your husband just hasn’t got trained ears. Keep going and enjoy. Sending love and light ☀️🎶❤️

I received my first didge a couple days ago and I had NO idea what was involved in play. I am a sound practitioner and will be leading sound meditations by June. Were you doing all those practices in one breath? I'm struggling to get a consistent breath. Will this come with practice and strengthening the core/diaphragm? I guess what I'm asking is, do I need to be focusing on circular breathing before following these tutorials? maybe I just need to see about lessons🤣

[@DidgeMama]

Hi dear Heather, so wonderful you got your first didge! Yes these exercises you start without Circulair Breathing, these tutorials are set up to help you get circular breathing.

Raymond Czapiga maybe, is possible. But the nice thing is if you incorporate your jaw dropping during vocalizations, you don’t need a bigger mouthpiece.

Daft question, but when I'm playing through the didge, should be mouth be open or closed? I seem to be getting much better sounds just blowing through pursed, vibrating lips but with my front teeth closed. Plus, when I move my tongue, it sounds right, and I can control the note like you do. But I assumed - maybe wrongly! - that I should have my mouth open when blowing? Any ideas? Thank you!

[@DidgeMama]

Not sure if I understood correctly, but when I play my molars are almost together. But every shape of lips and face is different, so if it sounds good it should be good. You can always send me a sound file or video of your playing ([e-mail]) and then I can tell you if what you are doing is correct. Thanks for your question. ❤️☀️🎶
