****Lesson overview****

****Lesson goals****
-Get comfortable with shaking the egg shaker to keep an even rhythm
-Be able to accent the main beat in the egg shaker sound.
-Play the didgeridoo rhythm "dida (B) dida (B)" while keeping the rhythm on your shaker
****Training tips****

-Be sure to practice just with the shaker to get comfortable before adding your didgeridoo playing
-Keep your arm really relaxed to make shaking easier and feel more comfortable
-Experiment with the speed of the playing & shaking to find what speed feels to easiest to practice
