The Aussie Funk Jam is a totally interactive and hands-on musical experience. The didgeridoo has been played by Aboriginal Australians for at least 1500 years, and it's known for its otherworldly sound. Participants will learn how to play the “didge”, including animal sounds and simple rhythms, with our beginner instruments!
Participants will ... ... use our beginner PVC didgeridoos (clean and sanitized, of course). ... learn how to drone and make numerous sounds, including animal calls. ... learn how to play multiple rhythms. ... learn the fundamental concepts of circular breathing. ... learn about Australia and Aboriginal culture. ... learn how to craft a didgeridoo from household items such as cardboard tubes (on their own time). ... partake in an uplifting jam session!
The Funk Jam is best for ages 7+ and groups of 50 or less, but mature youngsters and slightly larger groups are OK.
Since 2003, DDU performers have presented 10,000+ programs at schools and other venues in New York and nationwide … with countless rave reviews!
