Thanks for the encouragement ā gotta say, Iām stuck on circular breathing right now. Iāve been practicing for a few days and I canāt wait for it to click. But hey, Rome wasnāt built in a day, so Iām sure with a bit of perseverance itāll come.
Happy blowing
Welcome to the forum Steve 
Donāt hesitate to explore, browse around ā youāll definitely find topics that interest you.
As for circular breathing, I reckon youāve already checked out Gauthierās free videos and yeah, it takes practice. But those hours of discovery are definitely the most thrilling.
Happy blowing!
Hi, greetings to the whole tribe, my nameās Victor, I live in Castelldefels ā a village next to Barcelona, Iām a veteran (53 years oldā¦) and Iāve just started (just a month and a half ago).
Iām already getting the didge to sound, and just yesterday I seriously started circular breathing. (Like a miracleā¦ 
after a coughing fit) KOUF KOUFā¦and tachaaaaanā¦
I can put in an hour a day, maybe two of practice.
Iām giving it my all!!!
Cheers!!
Welcome to the forum Victor
What kind of didgeridoo do you have?
Welcome Victor, canāt wait to see you express yourself here 
Welcome.
Iāve got two homemade agave ones, purely for experimenting. And another fiberglass, an old one I restored for my learning.
Sorry for my French, itās terrible, so Iām a Catalan Aboriginal, born and raised in Brittany in '69. 
Thank you!
Welcome @vicmestrep !
If you feel like it, weād love to see your creation! Thereās a dedicated topic for sharing instruments:
Hi everyone!
Iām MĆ©lanie, I live in the Swiss Alps. I just got back from a workshop in La Chaux-de-Fonds, and it was extremely enriching, so Iām taking the plunge and introducing myself here. 
Like many people my age (between 40 and 50), I discovered the didgeridoo thanks to Jamiroquai. Itās a sound Iāve always really loved, and I have to admit that right now, like many on this forum (from what Iāve read), Iām looking for a bit more grounding in my body. Iām naturally scattered and dabble in everything, so the focus on the body that this learning requires and the vibrations it creates give me sensations that feel beneficial to meākind of like mindful meditation. Anyway, it really exercises concentration! 
I have almost no musical experience, except for singing and that famous recorder at schoolā¦ Iām starting from pretty much nothing, but I tell myself I have more to learnāchallenges appeal to me.
Professionally, Iām a biologist, botanist, agronomist, and I do research in arboriculture. Since I also make some jewellery and marquetry wood knife handles, why not try making an instrument one day.
Iām also someone who lives outdoorsāclimbing, enduro mountain biking, slacklining, skateboarding, forest walks. I always have an eye out for wood to recover, and Iād like to find a species that speaks to me (cherry, pear, or apricot wood probably)ā¦ Weāll see what life brings.
Iām currently playing (learning to play) a didgeridoo in D in bamboo by David Defois, and I love it! Iāve also been able to borrow various termite-hollowed instruments in different keys and shapes from friends; I love hearing well-developed harmonics, and Iām working on making them ring out.
See you soon on the forum
Welcome MĆ©lanie to this lovely place where the vibration makers have a blast.
Itās cool that youāve jumped into playing with a gentle and punchy breath in this interiority that the didge and its active termites can guide you towards.
Thereās no age limit to experience and try a practice, artistic or even just active and healthy, that can bring us to experience ourselves differently.
As for what you call concentration, Iād rather call it attention, because it brings us to listen to ourselves without focusing and forgetting the rest.
You who love nature, like most in this big slide didge that is this technology favouring certain exchanges, playing your bamboo while being open to the sounds around you, can make you integrate this funny company into your vibrations.
Awesome everything you do, I reckon the didge is gonna bring you its little extra ā¦ Hi hi hi, how good is the bonus of breathing like a tone thatās really alive.
I wish you to have fun and get intoxicated, wisely by the great drone
Welcome to you.
You couldnāt have gotten a better welcome than the one written by Fifrelin.le.magnifiq, whose way of putting words together Iām a big fan of.
You live in a region, certainly a magnificent one that I donāt know. However, being subscribed to the (Swiss) magazine La Salamandre run by Julien Perrot and regularly watching Ā« La Minute Nature Ā» by the same Julien Perrot on YouTube, I have a little idea of how beautiful the place is.
Otherwise, weād be delighted to see photos (if you donāt mind) of your jewelry and knife handle creations.
Welcome to the forum MĆ©lanie !!!
Thanks for the photos.
Itās really nice what youāre doing. I can feel that beyond the beauty of the object, thereās the passion of the artist.
The class is really awesome what youāre doing Melanie!!! 
Welcome MĆ©lanie,
thereās always something special about discovering something new, the pleasure of exploring, those moments that mark progress. I wish you lots of joy in your learning journeyā¦ which is never really over.
Seeing the quality of your woodwork, thereās no doubt youāll succeed in making your own instrument whenever you feel like it.
Bravo!
Thank you for the welcome! 
Welcome MĆ©lanie! Looking forward to reading you and/or hearing you!
Hi Melanie,
I also live in Switzerland in Fribourg. Weāve just started a small group of players in Fribourg and would be happy to meet you one day. I also started with a bamboo didgeridoo by David Defois.
I really love your wooden didgeridoos. Iām also an artist. Iām working with watercolours now.
Best wishes, Douglas
