Didjeridoo - a mystical musical instrument of Australian Aboriginals

Hello! A few people asked me about this musical instrument, so let me tell you a bit about it. Its name is didjeridoo in Aboriginal language. You can also find a word didgerida for it. Playing it helps our body and mind to relax and compose oneself. Here, various courses are organized for people who want to learn playing it. I am going to book a special music lesson prepared by an expert on this instrument for our teenagers for final days of this school year. The musical instrument is usually extremly expensive , so for school lessons the didjeridoo teacher uses special plastic pipes instead of original instruments but they work in the same way! Teenagers like this music and it slowly becomes a part of alternative youth culture here, he says. Another lesson he is going to prepare for students in Dub nad Moravou is focused on playing African drums and various unconventional instruments. It isn´t necessary to have musical education and everyone can make music and enjoy it!
