Biography

There is something truly enchanting about how Ron Crose plays the didgeridoo, the ancient Australian Aboriginal wind instrument, also known as the yidaki. The mystical sounds pervade the room, swirling around you, encompassing you with feelings of another world.

As Ron plays “in tongue” and in rhythm, you can see why he has earned respect among the didgeridoo and world music communities for both his gift of playing, and his love of sharing this sacred instrument.

He has performed nationally on PBS, as well as local tv studios and various radio shows. He has also been seen playing music festivals, elementary schools; sharing the stage or studio with a multitude of musicians, or sharing his knowledge in workshops or private classes.

Feel the mystery that hovers around the ancient sounds of the didgeridoo, and the reason why Ron Crose is considered one of Texas’ premier didgeridoo players.

“Ron, I just wanted to thank you for welcoming me into your home for the didj lesson this past Saturday. I picked up a great deal and have been having a lot more fun with my “Joey Kakadu” didgeridoo. I particularly enjoyed your sharing the philosophy behind the ceremony/instrument too. Hearing it adds an entirely new dimension for me. Anyhow, I just wanted to say thanks again, Ron. (I think I need to get my didj fixed – it doesn’t sound like the way you play! ))” 
- Best regards, Gary

“Hi Ron: Thanks for the great class today. I feel that I’ve learned a great deal, more than I thought I would. 

My criteria for a good instructor is a person who not only can pass on the technical knowledge based on experience but also who can inspire the student to want more and be actively engaged in the process. You are such an instructor.” -Ed
