How to Approach Didgeridoo

Saturday, August 29th, 2009

I have not been online so much these past few days.  The main reason is that I’m taking up a summer course for music appreciation in the music school of my friend.  I’m also helping out my parents in setting up our new store across town.  My best friend is going to have his wedding this coming month as well.  Hence, I have pretty much so many things to be busy about.  Anyway, back to my summer course, we are being allowed to approach music in different ways and I love it so far. At the moment, I’m learning to play this interesting wind instrument called didgeridoo.  It’s of aboriginal in origin so it has a pretty good authenticity and lovely feel.
