The benefits of the handpan course

The handpan itself is an ethereal instrument. You can learn it by simply playing freely in nature or a quiet room. However, this course guides you to knowing percussive techniques that unlock the full potential of the handpan.

I met Joe while I was first starting with my rav drum and he gave me some in-person lessons and motivated me a lot! Now that I have a handpan and he told me he was releasing a full course I was so excited to check it out.


Halfway through the intermediate course, I feel like I can’t stop playing and watching the videos. I am noticing great improvements and Joe’s method is easy to follow.


Would totally recommend the course to anyone!

Theo's testimonial

★★★★★

I had never played any instrument before or had any sense of rhythm. I wanted to play the handpan because a friend played it so well in a yoga class and inspired me. 2 months later I bought my own. I contacted Joe and got an answer right away.


Joe spreads tons of love and is eager to help. He sent me two clips of an "online course“via mail. This content was so helpful and high quality. I would recommend everyone interested in learning to play the handpan, join his online course or start to interact with Joe.

Joe's course has brought new life into my playing and brought my technique to a new level, all these tips and tricks have made an incredible difference and opened up so many possibilities of expression on the hand pan.


The teachings are really well laid out and clear, it's so fun to dive into that you'll end up turning a 5-minute video into a 45-minute jam session! I've also found myself coming back to the course whenever I'm in need of some inspiration, it's just such a good resource to keep on referring back to.
