I'm not very skilled YET but I would tell people that circular breathing is going to take some time to learn and then more time to master so just be patient. That's the case with any instrument though. Also to play it think of blowing a raspberry at somebody and do that into the didgeridoo. It's kinda like playing a brass instrument but your lips are a lot lot looser. |

I don't except a didj player I just met told me about the circular breathing which I feel would be very good for me as I have had really bad asthma in the past and being able to play the didj would be great for that and also because I am a singer/songwriter and have always been interested in sound healing. |

Don't blow too hard blow gently until you find the instrument's resonating point practice maintaining a basic drone before getting too creative. |

Pretend the drone is a bit like the sound you make when you were little and playing with your toy cars. |

Close your eyes open your soul and take the spirit in your body. Then take this feeling search a didge-guide and then get your own authentic didge and exercise. |

Relax. Buzz your lips loosely (not tightly like if you are playing a trumpet etc). Practice creating a solid note and experiment with creating rhythms prior to learning circular breathing. |

Find a didgeridoo that suits well. I would try and buy in person as I find some didges work well for me and others I can't get a decent sound out of. |

Back pressure is most important when starting out. Without circular breathing one cannot play consistently enough to learn any other techniques! |

Relax and just enjoy it. Don't try to play too long at first. Don't worry about circular breathing at first. Try to play a little each day and allow it to grow on you. Listen to some music with didge playing in it. Try to find other players. Do give up. Volunteer to play for children. |

Be patient and practice the breathing techniques--it will make the transition far easier. Become comfortable with the sensation of prolonged buzzing of the lips. Understand the difference in quality and authenticity offered in a didgeridoo. |

I would say the key is not only breathing in but also breathing out and using your breathing from your diaphragm to master the different rhythms fast and slow. Never give up keep trying until you get it right. Once you get it it's like riding a bicycle you never forget. |

Learn to squirt water out of your mouth while inhaling. This will step up your understanding of circular breathing early on. |
