When learning how to play the handpan, it seems there is a bridge to be crossed between knowing WHAT to do and learning HOW to play…a very popular bridge between these two concepts are GROOVES! 

Welcome to the Beginner Grooves Pathway! Here, we’re going to focus on combining multiple elements of playing in order to create something more cohesive. 

Can you get a smooth and consistent sound out of each note? 

Are you comfortable playing with some dynamics? 

Do you know a few different ways to strike your instrument? 

FANTASTIC! Now, we’re going to put all these elements together and start to get our groove on!

At MasterTheHandpan, we’re very fortunate to host masterclasses with some of the most technical and groove-heavy artists on the handpan scene. This breakout course serves to isolate some more beginner and intermediate friendly patterns to spark the creativity in you.

In these 14 videos, you’ll learn from Dan Mulqueen, Alexander Mercks, Mar Loi, Mumi, and Malte Marten! 

When we learn grooves, we’re combining many small details of our practice, so please go slowly through these and really pay attention to the fine details. You’ll find that it’s much easier to learn a good habit then to break a bad one…when we start learning grooves, this is very evident (trust us…we’re speaking from experience!)
