Learn · Utrecht and online
Learn the handpan. Find your own sound.
Most people who pick up a handpan are not trying to become musicians. They are trying to get out of their head for an hour.
Ways to learn
I teach from listening, not from a system, so beginners play something that sounds like music on the first day. Players who already know the instrument go deeper into feel, dynamics, their own voice.
No reading music. No fixed method. Bring whatever mood you arrive in.

A gift with every handpan · 30 minutes
Your first touch
Every handpan bought here comes with a free half hour, online or at the studio. You hold your new instrument, I show you where the sound lives, you find out what you want from it. The first week goes better for it.
Specialist courses
For people who already hold a room
Two short programmes for yoga teachers, sound healers and facilitators who want the handpan inside their own work, not as a hobby next to it. Small groups, five sessions, you leave with something you can use the following week.
Draft programmes Content, dates and prices are a first version. I refine them before the first group starts.
