About the Author

Author of the series ‘How to Play the Didjeridoo’ (available in book and CD formats) Jonathan Cope has played didjeridoo for over ten years, both solo and with other musicians. Recent work has seen Jonathan recording session tracks for Sarah-Jane Taylor on her album ‘Comfortable Strangers’, performing a solo concert in the south of France, and playing at an Australia Society function in the Cafe Royale in London. He has a varied playing style - from slow and meditative to fast paced contemporary rythymns.

Having studied with several well-known international players and Australian Aboriginal Elders, Jonathan has been teaching all levels of didj playing for the past four years. Teaching ranges from private one-to-one sessions to group workshops, which have been held at Gaunts House, ‘Didjin’ Devon’, Didj Fest, and several venues in Central London.
