The Handpan is a beautiful instrument that was originally created by a couple in Switzerland, in the year 2000, inspired by the Caribbean steel drum and first called the Hangdrum… Combining percussion and melody, the handpan creates beautiful meditative soundscapes… Its shape and design allows for the sound to flow and resonate with a lovely sustain…

Throughout the private lessons you will learn about the handpan, its history, as well as the different techniques used to play it. You will learn about music theory, chords, patterns and melodies that can be created with this instrument. If you have a handpan of your own I will also guide you through how to care for your instrument on a daily basis.

The lessons include at the beginning  a part of free flow – this allows us to confirm the agenda for the session. We then move into learning some technical elements and at the end is offered an opportunity for you to integrate what has been learnt and to freely express your creative self.

I discovered the handpan in 2014 and immediately fell in love with this beautiful instrument. With over a decade of experience playing the handpan I love to create mystical melodies, exploring a good range of different techniques, but most importantly connecting in the present moment. I believe that through music we can express our deepest self & emotions.

Some delicious herbal tea is offered at the end of the session.
