Rhythm 2

Rhythm

wee or (B) wee or (B)…

Lesson Goals

• Be able to play this rhythm continuously for 1 minute while taking circular breaths
• Be able to balance your breathing in and blowing out, keeping a comfortable lungful of air
• Keep the timing of your rhythm consistent

Training Tips

• When you see (B), this means take a circular breath
• When we say “breath”, this means take a circular breath
• When you first start practicing this rhythm, don’t worry about the quality of your sound, just work on getting the timing of your breaths right
• It doesn’t matter if your breathing doesn’t sound good, this is a great exercise to strengthen your circular breathing
• Experiment with the speed of your rhythm
• Make sure you don’t miss any breaths. It’s important to take small regular breaths to keep your lungs full
• Remember, use as little air as you can. You don’t need to BLOW down the didgeridoo – gentle, gentle, gentle
