Sixth graders at Renfroe Middle School study Australia and its aboriginal cultures as part of their humanities curriculum. DEF supplied funds to bring Didgeridoo Revolution’s teaching artists to the school for an interactive workshop with the entire grade. The artists taught about the didgeridoo, its history and importance. After they demonstrated the methods for achieving the range of unique sounds produced by the didgeridoo, the students experimented on “modern” didgeridoos made from PVC pipes.
Sixth grader Grayson Bauer plays a didgeridoo duet with instructor Tanya Gerard.
