Didgeridoo Down Under is one of the most popular K-12 enrichment programs in the U.S. We specialize in weaving cultural arts, core curriculum, motivational speaking, and audience participation into high-energy, interactive experiences for all ages!

Didgeridoo Down Under Show

“Several teachers said that this was the best program we have had in our 54-year history.” – Bryan Kaye, Assistant Head of School, All Saints’ Episcopal Day School, SC

Didgeridoo Down Under is an Australia-themed show that combines music, culture, art, science, literacy development, comedy, character building, anti-bullying, motivational speaking and audience participation. The didgeridoo, usually a hollow tree trunk, has been played by Aboriginal Australians for at least 1,500 years, and is known for its otherworldly sound. But DDU is much more than music. It’s interactive, educational, motivational and super fun … for all ages!

“Our Didgeridoo Down Under presentation was absolutely amazing.” – Annie Marmiol, Social Studies Department Chair, Elkins Pointe Middle, GA

DDU is a true cross-curricular program that supports state and national educational standards. During the show, we play a variety of exotic didgeridoos. We also use a multitude of props – including a vocabulary list, a globe, motivational signs, artifacts, artwork and puppets – to deliver educational lessons and empowering messages. A study guide is provided for pre- and post-performance lesson plans. We adjust our programs according to the audience’s grade levels and learning objectives.

DDU Will Motivate Your Students To … – Respect multiculturalism and diversity. – Get excited about learning and reading. – Think creatively and imaginatively. – Act with kindness and acceptance. – Appreciate world music and art. – Stand up against bullying. – Protect the environment. – Become better global citizens!

Aussie Funk Jam Workshop Another favorite school program is our Aussie Funk Jam, in which we teach how to play the didgeridoo with our beginner instruments. The Aussie Funk Jam is hands-on, cool, funky and unique – ideal for teens and tweens, but OK for ages 8 and up. It’s a perfect complement to the DDU show!

Our Programs are Affordable!
