🎶 The Didgeridoo – A Unique Path of Personal Growth

The didgeridoo is one of the oldest wind instruments known to humanity. Its deep, vibrant sound resonates throughout the entire body of the listener, creating an experience that is both mesmerizing and meditative.

Since 2012, Mike has trained with great didgeridoo masters such as Gauthier Aubé (Grégoire Van de Reykel), Ondrej Smeikal, Tom Fronza, Lies Beijernick, Tijs Logic, and Dubravko Lapaine. Today, he defines himself as a modern player, specializing in solo and meditative playing, as well as in the art of amplifying the instrument to reveal its full sonic power.

🪘 Learning the Didgeridoo with Mike

Lessons take place in Brussels, in the European Commission district (near Parc du Cinquantenaire), or at students’ homes. Mike offers simple, accessible teaching, suitable for all levels.

For beginners:

  • Discovering the drone (the basic sound, produced by exhaling a buzzing vibration)

  • Introduction to circular breathing, which allows continuous playing without interruption

For intermediate and advanced players:

  • Exploring the 3 types of inhalation techniques (wobble, jaw, throat)

  • Discovering the 6 main didgeridoo sounds: drone, voice, harmonics, trumpet tones, drop octave, and flute-like sounds

  • Working on articulation, clarity, precision, and power of sound

Like in sports, regular practice increases abilities: speed, precision, control, and endurance. Mike supports students by carefully observing their playing, giving personalized feedback, and providing tailored exercises to help them progress step by step.

🎵 Instruments

Every didgeridoo has its own sonic personality.
Since 2017, Mike has mainly played a hard fiberglass didgeridoo crafted by Andrea Furlan: lightweight and convenient for travel (small bell), yet powerful for sound massages (large bell).
For him, however, Duende Didgeridoos remain the finest instruments.

During lessons, students will have the chance to test different didgeridoos, discover amplification, and explore Mike’s equipment.
