Hi I am Moritz from Berlin. I just started the amazing course with a Handpan from Innersound. I have a musical but nor percussive background. Even for me the course works perfectly! Thanks a lot.

In Level 1, we will start with the very basics - how to create the various sounds on the instrument.
Soon you will put these sounds to use in musical pieces, starting slowly and working your way up.
Once you have a solid foundation, we will continue with subjects like ghost notes, arpeggios, Middle-Eastern rhythms and percussive sounds that you can integrate into your playing.
In the Level 2 course, we build on your existing skills and and dive deeper into the world of handpan, percussion and music in general.
Independence exercises will allow you to compose and improvise melodies in a structured way.
In the chords chapter you will build a repertoire of rhythmic patterns that allow you to turn any chord progression into a groovy sequence.
You will learn about odd metres and other unusual rhythms and towards the end of the course we start working on some advanced double stroke techniques and finish with the Afro-Cuban Floating Hand technique and some challenging breakbeat patterns.
If you already know what you’re doing on the handpan and want to progress to a professional level, this course is for you. We kick off with a technique checkup, to make sure that you don’t carry any bad habits with you.
Then we move on to advanced techniques and musical concepts to expand your range of expression on the instrument! Split-Hand and a variety of double stroke techniques will enable you to play fast rolls and patterns. We also tackle advanced musical topics such as how to create space in your music, polyrhythms and how to stay relaxed in fast tempo.
Writing your own music has never been easier.
No matter where you are in your handpan journey, you will be able to use the ideas and concepts in this course to compose music on the handpan.
You will start from a groove, a pattern, a melody, a harmony and from an ostinato, learn about musical structure, phrasing and a little bit of music theory. Throughout the course you will follow a series of assignments and by then end you will have a repertoire of your own songs.
