The sessions are about 1.5 hours each, take around 15 students at a time. Sometimes I run 2 or three sessions back-to-back, since I don't have a huge quiver of instruments and favour teaching smaller groups. I do this up to three times a year, but usually once in about april and again in August. I'm moving permanently to another country, and have been asked by the particular college if I can propose a replacement. Sadly, I've become a little out of touch with fellow Melbourne didgeridu players, but if one of you is listening, and would like to take over, then please call me on 0417 52 51 53 before next Tuesday, the 1st of Jule. The going rate is at your negotiation with the College, but I can discuss the fees I have charged with you if you call. I think they're attractive enough if they're considered beer-money, but arent going to change your ranking on the BRW list.

What a great email. It's great to imagine folks making instruments out of all kinds of stuff and the little bit of knowledge transfer is a fantastic diversion from work. I just wanted to send a quick message to say that I have enjoyed these emails over the years. They seem to have become very occasional, but that's fine in an era of too much information anyway. After 10 years I'm leaving this email address to take up a new job and life in South Asia. I'm also concluding a period as a postgraduate student and in academia. That means my beautiful collection of didgeridus can stop collecting dust and start making noise again. Once a week or once a fortnight is just not enough if I'm ever to unlock the code of the N.E rhythms I love. If anyone fancies catching up for a cup of chai and a jam in the park across the road from my house in New Delhi, look me up. I'm not a student anymore so there's time to be social and a nice person again. Finally! And, further, since my job will involve travel and recreation leave that I can actually take, maybe a trip to Garma, a masterclass or to one of the US festivals is on the agenda. Not that the US will give me a visa with all these funny visas in my passport!
