The program includes numerous rhythmic and melodic patterns, thoughtfully categorized so that with daily intelligent practice, you can track your progress and deepen your understanding of handpan performance.
Bilateral Brain Training is at the core of PlayPan. Through practicing exercises and études, you will enhance coordination between both hands and your neural-muscle connection, unlocking unlimited creativity in your handpan performance.
A unique feature called “Play With Me” is included, offering structured rhythmic patterns and song forms. For optimal results, it’s important to practice these sections diligently, allowing your hands and musical perception to grow for performing pieces more fluently.

Additionally, background tracks and practice music are provided for all exercises and études. These tracks enhance your learning experience by making daily practice engaging and enjoyable, allowing you to experience the sensation of playing within a group setting. Instead of using a metronome, you can use these tracks to maintain rhythm naturally while enjoying your practice.
Through PlayPan, you can easily learn handpan through repeated practice and instructional videos, and for additional guidance, our online support packages offer direct assistance from instructors.
