Didgeridoo Sounds: A E I O U

Lesson Overview

This exercise is an extension of the last lesson. It will bend and mould your face muscles into different shapes. This will produce new didgeridoo sounds

Lesson Goals

• Clearly hear the sound changes when miming the English vowels “a… e… i… o… u…”
• Keep your cheeks in tight to get the sharpest sound
• Be able to play all 5 vowels slowly on one breath

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
• Exaggerate the pronunciation of the vowels to increase the sound variation
