How to Make Specific Noises With a Didgeridoo

-
A didgeridoo is an Aborigine instrument designed to create several musical effects.

The didgeridoo is a North Australian Aborigine instrument formed out of wood that has been hollowed out by termites. To make specific noises with a didgeridoo, you must learn how to circular breathe to create a drone while buzzing through the instrument. This will create the initial sound. Then you can use your voice to sing through the instrument or your tongue to articulate notes while maintaining a drone to create specific noises with the instrument.

Step 1 Blow through the instrument as you normally would and buzz your lips, creating a low and slow vibration. This will produce the basic drone that is used as the foundation for specific noises.

Step 2 Sing while playing the drone to create specific pitches on the didgeridoo. This is a process called multi-phonics in which you create more than one note through a combination of buzzing and singing.

Step 3 Place your tongue at the roof of your mouth so that the tip hits the place where your mouth and teeth hit to create clucking noises. Flick your tongue downward to the floor of your mouth to create a clucking sound.

Step 4 Create articulations within the drone using a tonguing technique. The tip of the tongue should hit the roof of your mouth between the teeth and the gum line and then pull back quickly.

Step 5 Pronounce the syllables "tu-ku" to learn to double tongue. The "tu" syllable creates the initial articulation while the "ku" syllable pushes air forward creating the second articulation.

What Materials Did Claude Monet Use for His Paintings?

Image
Monet was a French Impressionist artist who used several materials to envision, draft and finally create his artwork. His first painting was “Impression: Sunrise” and provided the basis for the name of the Impressionist movement. Impressionists often used natural landscapes in their art and depicted varying degrees of light to create an impression of the actual image. Canvas The canvas that Monet chose to paint on con s isted of light hues, from white to a light gray and even yellow. His brushstrokes added texture and depth to his painting by juxtaposing several layers of color. His focus on creating textures on the canvas that complemented the object resulted in vibrant art. Many times, he mixed his colors and formed them directly on the canvas instead of using a painter’s palette. Oil Eugene Boudin was Monet’s mentor and began teaching him to use oil paints in 1856. The oil paints were used to master an outside painting technique. However, Monet actually finished many of his painting

Musical techniques progressively build upon previously learned techniques. Scales Scales form the basis for other musical techniques. Student may study major and minor scales as well as modern scales, such as the whole-tone and octatonic scales. A scale consists of patterns of half steps and whole steps.
