Backing tracks for this session
In this lesson, we focus on executing dotted quarter notes (dotted crotchets) and eighth notes on the handpan. Understanding the relationship between these note values is essential for rhythmic precision and musical expression
You will learn how to count, strike, and combine dotted quarter notes with eighth notes while maintaining steady timing and smooth transitions. Special attention will be given to hand placement, dynamics, and coordination between both hands to achieve accurate and expressive performance
By practicing these patterns, you will enhance your rhythm reading skills, develop greater control over note durations, and improve overall handpan performance. Integrating dotted quarter notes with eighth notes opens the door to more complex rhythmic patterns and musical creativity
