Didgeridoo can also be learned very well online! I have also been teaching online on and off for many years, and now increasingly. All my offers, one-on-one lessons, courses and workshops can also be done comfortably from home. Totally safe, no travel required, and no overnight stays.
I currently prefer to use the provider Zoom, for which you do not even need to download an app or program.
It is also possible to virtually participate in my real workshops (as a so-called “hybrid workshop”), where you will then be connected online via Zoom to the participants on-site on a large monitor.
If you are used to other ways, we can also meet virtually via Jitsi, Google Meet videoconference, or Skype (etc. …). These programs specialize in transmitting speech, so we will need to change a few settings (example: zoom) for didgeridoo lessons.
