Copenhagen Handpan Method: Level 1 – Foundations

Discover the magic of the handpan through a structured yet creative learning journey. The Copenhagen Handpan Method is a unique teaching system that balances technical skill-building with artistic freedom.

Level 1 is your gateway into this world: an 8-lesson foundation course (plus a bonus introduction) designed for complete beginners and curious explorers. You’ll learn to produce beautiful tones, develop rhythm and timing, and create your very first melodies and compositions.

This course follows the Musical Circle, a set of 8 core skills:

• Sound/Timbre – tone quality and resonance
• Dynamics – expression and accents
• Rhythm – groove and patterns
• Timing – tempo and pulse
• Harmony – layering and intervals
• Melody – phrasing and storytelling
• Coordination & Independence – training both hands
• Songwriting – improvisation and creativity

By the end of Level 1, you’ll not only understand your instrument; you’ll express yourself musically with confidence, laying the groundwork for deeper exploration in Levels 2 and 3.

Perfect for beginners, no prior musical experience needed.
