Pitz on Didge

Sleep Apnea relief/Didge lessons

The British Medical Journal concluded that playing Didgeridoo is an "effective treatment alternative" for sleep apnea.  

Pitz teaches his easy-to-learn method of basic and advanced techniques of playing the Didgeridoo in one-on-one and group lessons in-person or worldwide via video chat platforms. Lessons specifically for circular breathing is an additional option. Pitz is a registered teacher with the Sleep Apnea - Didgeridoo Network. 

Here's a great article on this topic from 7 Days press of Vermont. Pitz and two doctors are interviewed.

Here's Pitz presenting the Didge's history and playing techniques in a 50 minute video from The Fleming Museum, Universtity of Vermont.

Testimonials…                                                                                                            "Pitz gave a great class, everyone had fun, and my patients have seen benefit from his teachings." – Dr. Michael Stadtmauer, President of the Vermont Association of Naturopathic Physicians 

"A number of my clients in my sound therapy practice suffer from sleep apnea.  When I found out that playing the didgeridoo has been scientifically documented to help considerably with this condition, I brought in Pitz to teach a class at my clinic. My clients loved his instruction and found the practice helpful for their condition - as well as fun! I highly recommend considering making Pitz's services as a gifted and patient teacher available to your clients."  - Eileen McKusick, Sound Therapist and Author of “Tuning the Human Biofield: Healing with Vibrational Sound Therapy” 

"I was fortunate to have Pitz Quattrone, who is a world traveled Didgeridoo performer/educator, hold an introductory class on learning to play the didge at my healing center.  People loved the class and him!  He’s a great hearted teacher, very patient and has some easy learning techniques.  Besides having a lot of fun, people felt empowered in having a choice to work with this creative option rather than feel like they’re stuck with only a more medical option (CPAP)" - Jim Thomas, M.Ac., Samara Healing Center, Taneytown, MD  

"Pitz Quattrone is a wonderful, inventive, patient and fun teacher of the didgeridoo. I was drawn to his class to help reduce my sleep apneas and I'm delighted that I'm getting to learn to play a musical instrument in the bargain."  – Mischul Brownstone, Didge student and Feldenkrais teacher, GCFP

"Playing the Didgeridoo gave me energy due to the vibrations; it produced a better vocal quality to my singing due to the relaxed lip flapping and increased breath control." - Judi Byron, Didge student and Harp therapist 

 "I will miss my Didgeridoo class.  Bring Pitz back when he is available.  He is a kind and patient teacher, I will miss him.  Now to practice." - Susan Rogers, Didge student

 "I can make sounds out of the didge now and I'm trying to get circular breathing.  I think I can eventually get the hang of it.  If Trombone Shorty can do it, why shouldn't I?" - Will Larsen, Didge student
