Every sound reflects a part of your body.

I really appreciate your English and the way of learning, which allows for having fun and developing body awareness.”

Frequently asked questions
I am a complete beginner. Is this for me?
Yes, Wakademy was actually created for you. The free course requires no prior musical knowledge. Welcome to this wonderful world of sounds and rhythms!
I don’t have a didgeridoo yet.
Start without one! Part of the course is practised without the instrument: that is really the key, syncing the mechanism before applying it to the didgeridoo. And to get started, a PVC didgeridoo for about €30 is perfect. Read the guide to choose your didgeridoo
Can I learn the didgeridoo on my own?
Of course! I taught myself almost everything. But to afford that luxury, you need time… To give just one example, I realised 17 years after I started how much the bounce shapes all the playing around the breaths. It was like a revelation but, gosh, it took me a while! With Wakademy, I share my experience so you can save a few years of searching.
I don’t have time to play.
I recommend setting aside 15 minutes a day (or 30 minutes every other day). Working on the exercises in the shower, while driving or on a walk will save you a lot of time: you would not believe how much you can practise without a didgeridoo! And rhythm can be sung: a rhythm you can sing is a rhythm you can play.
Does learning online really work?
Learning the didgeridoo in front of a screen is obviously tricky. That is why, with the personal follow-up offered as an option in the courses, you can send me a video of your playing: I reply with audio feedback.
