Didgeridoo Double Tonguing

Lesson Overview

In this lesson, we introduce you to double tonguing. This allows you to play new sounds and is a great technique to speed up your playing

Lesson Goals

• Recognise the 2 different tongue positions created from the phrases “ta” and “ka”
• Play the “ta-ka ta-ka” double tonguing technique
• Play it pronounced both softly and strongly
• Play the rhythm “ta-ka ta-ka ta-ka (B)”

Training Tips

• First practice saying “ta-ka… ta-ka… ta-ka” without the didgeridoo
• Then practice it through vibrating lips
• Then play it on the didgeridoo
• The “harder” you pronounce “ta-ka”, the more it’s going to affect your drone
