At which level can I start?We have developed a sequence of courses divided into 4 progressive levels, which offer a logical and coherent approach to the various topics covered. We recommend following the presentation order to acquire solid foundations and then gradually adding new concepts and in-depth analyses. However, if you are already an experienced musician who has been playing the handpan for some time and already has a good knowledge of the fundamental aspects, you can choose the most appropriate starting level and, if necessary, go back to fill any gaps. In addition, we also offer multilevel MasterClasses in collaboration with the best Italian Handpan Players, suitable for all levels of experience, with progressively more advanced lessons. However, we recommend attending them only after completing at least a first-level course and, preferably, also a second-level course, to ensure adequate mastery of the basic techniques and to be able to derive the maximum benefit from the lessons. If you are an absolute beginner, we recommend starting with the first level, where you will acquire the fundamental knowledge to correctly play the handpan, understand its notes and scales, read music in a simple way and create basic rhythms. This level is also recommended for those who play the handpan self-taught or intuitively, as creating solid musical foundations is essential for progress. The second level is suitable for those who have already completed the first level or have a solid musical background on other instruments. The third and fourth levels are intended to take your playing from an intermediate to an advanced level, and we recommend approaching them only after properly following and practicing the first two levels. Rimaniamo a disposizione, contattaci per aver un consiglio diretto.

Starting from scratch? What do I need?No initial knowledge is required, not even in reading musical notes, and there are no age limits. Consider that the average age of our course participants is 47 years... To start, all you need is a Handpan to practice on, or alternatively, for an initial approach, a Steel Tongue Drum can also work well. You can follow the guided educational path at your own pace, from your own home, without pressure: the course is yours forever, the goal is to have fun without stress.

Can I follow the video courses with any type of instrument? Are they suitable for all scales of handpan and/or steel tongue drum?Certainly! Our video courses are designed to be adaptable to a wide range of handpans and/or steel tongue drums, regardless of the scale. Our methodology is flexible and aims to provide comprehensive learning, irrespective of the type of instrument you own. Whether you play a handpan with a specific scale or a steel tongue drum with a different harmony, our courses are designed to enrich your musical experience and develop your skills regardless of the specific characteristics of your instrument. However, we recommend using a handpan with a Kurd scale. This recommendation is based on the harmonic richness and versatility of this scale, even on instruments with only 9 notes. Nevertheless, we understand that every musician has their own preferences and skills, so if your instrument has a different scale, don't worry; the process of adapting and maximizing the potential of your instrument is also part of musical growth.
