About your lessons
My handpan lessons are designed for beginners to advanced players, with no prior music background required. A typical lesson includes warm-up rhythm exercises, technique practice, and guided improvisation to build confidence and creativity. I provide instruments for new students, making it easy to start right away. My approach is relaxed, engaging, and supportive, focusing on helping students connect with music as part of their lifestyle.
