There is a wide variety of music in the Australian music charts from folk to classical, pop to jazz, and even the traditional aboriginal music of Australia. Traditional aboriginal music is several thousand years old and is mostly played on a musical instrument called a didgeridoo, which is traditionally made from any one of a number of species of Eucalyptus branches or saplings.
The technique in playing the didgeridoo whereby you blow down the tube ensuring that your lips are loose, which creates a vibration that echoes down the tube coming out amplified as a drone. It is important to stay relaxed when blowing into the didgeridoo; as if you try too hard you will tighten your muscles which contradict the need to create loose lips and face. This instrument is usually accompanied by others playing rhythm sticks and drums which add to the sound effects.

Australian folk music was originally created by the criminals whom were imprisoned in Australia and this music owes its origins to the English and the Scots. This music is very comparable to American folk music, which has a similar dance tune. This music is generally played on instruments such as the banjo, fiddle, guitar, and the mandolin along with other instruments that are not Australian such as the bouzouki. The flute and the tin whistle represent the woodwind.
In Australia, a musical instrument is made out of caps or tops of beer bottles. This instrument is referred to as the lager phone. The caps or tops of the beer bottles are loosely nailed onto a wooden broomstick which is then thumped rhythmically onto the ground to create the percussion effect.
The Bodhidharma is another instrument that represents a drum, which was found in Ireland.
Kylie Minogue, Pop Princess, the Bad Seeds, and Nick Cave are amongst the current Australian musicians whose artistic music has scaled to the top of the Australian music charts. Those well known in Australia itself are Joh Butler and Ben Lee.
Paul Kelly from Melbourne is another Australian performer who is extremely vocal. One of his admirable works is in the short movie “One Night in the Moon” whereby he composed the music, acted and sang. The Australian music charts has certainly been acclaimed internationally.
Australian classical musicians perform worldwide, the most famous of them all is arguably the classical guitarist John Williams. It has been stated that Australia has no culture; however, this is simply not true. If you look around carefully, there are orchestras, opera and ballet companies of extremely high quality. There are some very good numbers in the Australian music charts.
