Any skill. Any level.
Handpan learning, simplified.
Immersive videos with clear views
Ever tried to learn a tune with only the front view of a handpan? Quite the challenge, right? All our lessons are shot from above. This means when the instructor uses their left hand, it aligns with your left, and the same for the right.
Mirror your teacher's hand movements on the handpan with ease
Say goodbye to the mind-bending task of reverse thinking
Break down every pattern gradually
A notation system that's fun & innovative
Dive into a world of symbols, colors, numbers, and friendly ghosts (booooo). Designed to help you get the most out of the tutorials, our intuitive hand notation system makes it easy. Simply follow along & let those grooves flow.
Easy-to-understand notation system
Learn and remember any pattern
No music theory required
Notations aren't in all courses. Once you've got the basics down, you won't always need them.
E-books: your offline handpan guide
Many of our courses offer a notation booklet packed with exercises. Print it out, take it to your favorite spot, and enjoy the freedom to practice offline, anytime, anywhere.
Understand and master patterns faster
Print and download e-book for easy access
Learn offline on your own schedule
Some advanced courses skip the e-book. They believe in less reading, more playing!
Progress at your pace
Dive into lessons anytime and rewatch as often as you like to fit your schedule and lifestyle. No matter where you pause, it's a breeze to pick up right where you left off.
Clear path with step-by-step learning
Easy-to-follow video lesson
Track your progress
From Home, Yet Never Alone
The Academy is way more than courses. It's a vibrant handpan community that thrives on mutual support, where members connect, share, and inspire each other.
Welcome to your handpan home.
Embarking on an online journey doesn't mean you're on your own.
A private and safe community
Not big on social media? Same here. Step into our ad-free space—just handpan talks. Welcome to a truly private space.
Real conversations over likes
Sure, we have likes too, but we prioritize genuine discussions. It's about true sharing, not collecting points.
Your space, your rules
DMs, notifications, personal details? Share what you want, when you want. Whether a talker or a listener, you're in control.
The mentor Series
Every month, we host livestreamed workshops featuring the finest handpan instructors. A wide range of subjects will be covered to ensure continuous exploration and upward advancement in your handpan playing.
Handpan Challenges
Once a month we introduce a fresh and fun new challenge designed to test your handpan playing skills. What makes these challenges special is that our entire community actively participates in them, thus fostering an enjoyable learning atmosphere and offering support and accountability every step of the way.
Student focus
In addition to having access to a dedicated channel within the community to receive feedback from peers, David, Dan and Sylvain will also select several student videos each month to watch live and to provide commentary on. It's a golden opportunity to gain valuable advice from our team and to grow as a musician.
MasterTheHappy-Hour
Once a month, kick back, relax, grab your favorite drink and come hang out with the team! Ask questions, meet other new members, get helpful practice, study tips and discuss all-things handpan! It's a great way for us to meet you, and to help you get the most out of your membership. We can’t wait to see you!

All taxes are included in our prices. What you see is exactly what you pay.
We totally get why you'd want to! But currently, our lessons are only accessible online. This decision helps protect the content from unauthorized sharing, ensuring respect for the work put into each course. We appreciate your understanding.
However, we've crafted eBooks with all the music scores from the lessons. This way, you can practice even when offline.
And good news – we're working on an app that'll allow offline lesson access. We're excited about it but don't have a specific launch date just yet. Stay tuned!

We'd be sad to see you go, but if you decide the membership isn't for you, it's easy to stop the renewal. Just a heads up: we don't offer refunds for partially used membership periods, but you can still enjoy access until the current period ends.
