Advice for you

I visit each group to give you personal advice.

“If you are hesitating to join one of his workshops because you feel you are not good enough, a bit like me before I signed up: don’t hesitate any longer, Gauthier adapts his teaching to your playing.”

“We learn by being ourselves, in a light and pleasant way, without taking ourselves seriously but very seriously… working while having fun!”

Valérie T., workshop in Gimel-les-Cascades

“We work hard for a whole day… but the reward is there at the end!”

Audrey F.B., workshop in Colmar

They came to play with me

★★★★★

“Gauthier challenged me all day and I ended up mastering circular breathing. If you are hesitating to join one of his workshops because you feel you are not good enough, a bit like me before I signed up: don’t hesitate any longer, Gauthier adapts his teaching to your playing, you will learn an enormous amount.”

Yves P.Workshop in Clairefontaine (Belgium)

★★★★★

“Gauthier is not only a passionate virtuoso of his instrument. He is also a remarkable theorist and teacher. Very attentive to his students’ needs and feelings, he quickly spots what is holding us back and offers what we need to progress. I recommend him without reservation.”

Mickaël C.Workshop in Toulouse (France)

★★★★★

“A workshop I particularly enjoyed (as a very first approach to the instrument). Gauthier is a very good teacher and was able to adapt to all levels. For a first workshop, you gain good foundations to carry on. Lovely musical energy… and a really great atmosphere!”

Solange A.Workshop in Lherm (France)

★★★★★

“Gauthier, you already know I really appreciated your teaching and your commitment to each of us, and there were 10 of us, so hats off… Your philosophy and your way of seeing the didgeridoo are great, and on top of that I made huge progress during this workshop… When is the next one??”

Olivier T.Workshop in Paris (France)

★★★★★

“Gauthier is a great didgeridoo teacher. Very knowledgeable on every practical question about playing the didge. During the workshop he gives everyone suitable exercises, and he follows each person’s progress all day long. There are also stimulating group activities, which are precious for making progress.”

Laura D.Workshop in Clairefontaine (Belgium)

★★★★★

“The course gave me new angles of approach, as well as techniques to step out of my comfort zone and broaden my playing.”

Damien V.Workshop in Saint-Cergue (Switzerland)

★★★★★

“I have already been to 2 workshops. The first gave me the basics of the didge and the second helped me improve even more… I can’t wait for the next one. A really friendly atmosphere, an intense workshop with lots of personal advice and plenty of sharing… Well done and thank you.”

Lilian C.Workshop in Paris (France)

★★★★★

“Whether in a workshop or a private lesson, Gauthier offers quality didgeridoo lessons adapted to each person, which are bound to make you progress. A very good teacher and a really nice person… Every time we meet we have a great time… and we leave with plenty to work on.”

Christophe R.Workshop in Janneyrias (France)

★★★★★

“A great atmosphere at the workshops! Gauthier meets everyone at their level so that everybody progresses at their own pace. Didgeridoo players are one big family!”

Johan V.Workshop in Lille (France)

★★★★★

“Thanks to your workshop, I was able to master circular breathing and start playing the didgeridoo “for pleasure”. Now I have fun every day doing your personalised exercises. My level has clearly improved! I’m happy to have met you, and other players from my region. I can’t wait for the next workshop!”

Alexandre B.Workshop in Aix-en-Provence (France)

★★★★★

“Hi Gauthier, I can only look forward to the next workshop, the first one was so enjoyable… We learn by being ourselves, in a light and pleasant way, without taking ourselves seriously but very seriously… working while having fun! A lovely, effective way of teaching, and the best part is that it comes naturally to you!”

Valérie T.Workshop in Gimel-les-Cascades (France)

★★★★★

“I found the workshop very instructive. When I arrived, I was playing from the side of my mouth. Gauthier noticed it straight away, and he gave me the guidance I needed to play from the centre. So throughout the workshop, I learned to play from the centre.”

Gérald S.Workshop in Clairefontaine (Belgium)

★★★★★

“Great!!! I had a really good time in Toulouse… Let me add that, for me, Gauthier is a very good teacher: he knows how to listen and gives very valuable pointers on your way of playing, what you need to work on, what you have “mastered”.”

Important – How to find the venue?

Gauthier Aubé

My name is Gauthier Aubé, I am the founder of Wakademy and I am the one running the workshop. I have been teaching the didgeridoo for more than 20 years, I have run hundreds of workshops and taught thousands of students around the world. Just numbers, you will say, and you would be quite right!

So come and live this workshop, it is better than numbers! 😉

The method · My story

Everything you need to know before booking

What to bring

Your didgeridoo: I don’t lend any at workshops
A towel or a cloth to wipe up the puddles
Accommodation if needed: details on the workshop page

Booking

€80 deposit online, the balance is paid on the day
Car-sharing: give your departure town when you book
If you cancel, the deposit is not refunded (except in cases of force majeure)

I have never played the didgeridoo. Is the workshop right for me?

I welcome all levels, from complete novices to experienced players. That said, if you can at least play the drone (even not very elegantly), it is a real plus. You can also start practising with the free circular breathing course: even in a few days you can make a lot of progress, which will make the workshop much easier.

I don’t have a didgeridoo. Can you lend me one?

Unfortunately, I don’t lend didgeridoos during workshops. However, you can order a PVC instrument for about €30. These didgeridoos are perfect for beginners and you can keep playing with them at home. Choose a didgeridoo

I would like to come for just one day. Is that possible?

Priority goes to people who want to attend both days, partly to keep the group consistent and partly to make sure I cover my costs. However, if there are places left a few days before the workshop, get in touch and we can talk about it!

Are your workshops open to children?

You may have noticed I don’t say much about it! Simply because a two-day workshop is intensive and takes quite a lot of motivation. But if your child is really keen to play for two days, they are very welcome!

There is no workshop near me.

Finding venues is always tricky. But if you know a place near you, we can talk about me coming! All I need is the venue: I organise everything else.

What I look for in a venue

A room of 30 to 50 m², plus separate spaces to go and practise on your own.
Two days, roughly 9:30 am to 6 pm.
Accommodation nearby (not essential).
Shared meals, unless catering is provided.

Then I take care of everything: the workshop page on Wakademy, online booking, a reminder e-mail… and we all meet on the day.

To organise it, let’s talk directly: write to me.

Looking forward to meeting you “in real life”!
