    You learn at your own pace

    The basics while you wait for delivery, then chords and rhythms as soon as your handpan arrives.

Frequently asked questions

I have never played music. Is it for me?

Yes. The first chapter starts from scratch: the instrument, its vocabulary and the right gesture. Every lesson is short and you can replay it as often as you like.

Will it work with my handpan’s scale?

Touch, rhythms and techniques work on every scale. Chords and melodies are shown on an E Amara scale: on another scale, you keep the same moves with your own notes.

Which languages are the videos in?

English, German and French. Pick the one that suits you.

How much does the course cost?

Nothing extra: it is included with every Pandrum handpan.
