Jonny Cope



Author of the best-selling series ‘How to Play the Didjeridoo’ (available in book and CD and now DVD formats) Jonathan Cope has played didjeridoo for over fifteen years, both solo and with other musicians.

Having studied with several well-known international players and Australian Aboriginal Elders, Jonathan has been teaching all levels of this increasingly popular instrument for the past nine 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.

A lifetime fascination with rare and unusual sounds has also led Jonathan to seek many vocal techniques and instruments that can be used to soothe body, mind, and soul. Scientific studies have confirmed the many benefits of music and sound, particularly their ability to combat stress and allow the body to self-regulate and heal itself. Having studied for many years with leading exponents in these varied techniques Jonathan now also offers tuition and workshops in various styles of Mongolai / Tuvan ‘throat’ or overtone’ singing, chant, mantras, and the use of jaw harps, Tibetan prayer bowls, crystal bowls, frame drums, fujara, bells, gongs, chimes, amongst others.

Jonathan is currently lives in London but travels wherever sound takes him.
