My most fundamental didgeridoo knowledge - PUSH and PULL principle
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 бер 2018
- After developing a rather complex way to play I had to find a new way to make it more approachable for other people to learn. I realized I have to go all the way deep, deep down into the ways body can make a sound and breathe at the same time. This is deeper than "circular breathing". It is the most fundamental principle of playing didgeridoo I know of and until you can master it, you cannot discover your full potential!
Many thanks to Norbert Schmid for the amazing hemp didgeridoo I use in this video. www.drumparam.at/

Thank you, as a new didgeridoo player this has revolutionized the way I think about the instrument, and I now realize not only what I was doing wrong, but why I was doing it wrong. This has been a great help.
a big thank to you for your teaching gift.
You are so incredibly brutally welcome! ;-)

It`s great tutorial, thanks a lot! :)
20 years ago, Alan Dargin introduced it as " jaw-breathing".
Jaw breathing is probably best example of the pull, however, the concept of pull goes much deeper, as explained in the video.
please , more !
Yes Sir!
great !
Thank you
Thank you .. this changes a lot for me !!
It is indeed a huge change in one's playing when you balance both principles.
Спасибо огромное! Неожиданные аллегории и сравнения. Обязательно буду пересматривать. И английский надо получить бы мне, а то сложновато уже на слух воспринимать.
Спасибо!
Thank You!
And may you never lay your head down
Without a hand to hold
May you never make your bed out in the cold!
=)
massive neck!
I never looked at it that way..
спрасибо огромное . пусть язык чужд , и я ни слова не понимаю , однако - мистика , я освоила ваш урок
Awesome, thank you :)
I wanted to ask something, how do you call the other one ? Like deep basse and slow vibrations of the lips, when you can hear whispers/whistlings when you put you tongue forward ? You can use the voice and this lip kick impulse of a puller I guess to make it sound interesting.
The reason I ask is because it is really hard to juggle with this one
I usually refer to it as smooth drone... if you relax and make the right embouchure.. it becomes reasonably easy to play. especially on didgeridoos with high bp.

Your theory is interesting and your explanation is good but you are demonstrating so you should have better seal on the instrument with your mouth! When teaching it is important to make sure everything you show is as correct as possible and if there are things you have not perfected yet you should say something. For example say in the video "try to make a FULL seal when pushing or you will lose air from the corners of your mouth which will reduce the effect of the sound you are going for" because when you are showing the way to practice in this video you are losing a lot of air from the sides (example at 8.49). In my opinion this is a much more fundamental skill to learn than this idea of "push/pull"! If beginners learn this "bad habit" (my opinion) from you it will be hard for them to adjust it later. You are a good teacher, just remember that a teacher is always a student too.
I deliberately lose air from the side of my lips in that example which you have noticed well! I let air out because the didge cannot swallow it all in such a short amount of time. However, I need to expel that amount of air because I had that kind of pressure within. I had that kind of pressure within so I can gain that kind of elasticity (which is in related to tension- think about a guitar string) so I can recover more quickly and get back to the central position. I agree that everyone is always a student, and that is the only mindset that allows growth, but also I see that condition to keep mouth corners closed at all time is not as important as understanding deeply these principles. Thank you for your great comment, it opened a good discussion!
@@DuendeDidgeridoo Thanks for your response. "Letting air out the sides of your mouth reduces the effect of the sound you are going for..." whether you do it deliberately or not! It also creates an extra sound and therefore detracts (in my opinion) from the whole "resultant sound" for the listener - think of it like the sound heard sometimes when a guitarist moves fingers on a guitar, not all people dislike this sound for example. I understand your explanation here and do see your meaning of it being a way to control your "position" I also see what you are saying about power generation but I still do not think you NEED to expel the air from the sides of your mouth to achieve the *sounds* you produce in the video. I suppose my criticism is in essence a stylistic choice - in other words it is just my personal taste and for you to play the way you play this is part of the technique, fair enough. It is a good discussion and I will certainly consider your idea of guitar string/elasticity and "excess power".
