Playing the Didjeridu - Conclusion

It is not possible to really learn Yol\u yidaki playing without meeting with and learning from Yol\u in person - that is, if it is even possible for an outsider to fully learn these styles at all. But hopefully this has helped you with a basic understanding and piqued your interest to try and learn more!

Many sound clips in this section come from the CD Hard Tongue Didgeridoo, which was prepared to help you learn the Yol\u yidaki playing style from the very basics. If you do want to pursue Yol\u playing, we recommend this as an official source of this information, presented by a respected Yol\u player, rather than learning from any other sources. Djalu's instructional CD's will take you further. There is information about these and other recordings in the Appendices of this website.

Of course, it is most recommended to come and learn from Yol\u in person, or to attend workshops with Yol\u whenever they travel. For now, here are some examples from some of the people you could learn from.
