Didgeridoo Sounds: Wee or Wee or

Lesson Overview

When anyone learning to play the didgeridoo hears this sound, they say “I WANT TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT”. It’s a simple technique and sounds excellent. We show you how moving your tongue position changes the harmonics of the drone (dramatically).

Lesson Goals

• Clearly hear the sound changes when moving your tongue in the “wee… or… wee… or” positions
• Keep your cheeks in tight to get the sharpest sound
• Increase the range of the “wee” and the “or”
• Be able to play both slow and fast tongue movements

Training Tips

• Keeping your cheeks in tight and close by using the Mona Lisa smile technique will make a huge difference in the clarity of this technique
• Practice makes perfect. Keep practicing this for hours, days, weeks, months… it will be worth it!
• The clearer your drone sounds, the better you will hear the tongue movements
• Stay gentle. The better it sounds, the less air you will be using
