Handpan
The visual method: colours, constellations and emotions make harmony clear and memorable — on acoustic handpan and on Neotone.

The visual method, in lessons
I use Handpan Studio in lessons: colours, constellations and emotions make harmony clear and memorable — whatever your level, from curious child to seasoned musician.
Understand
See the structure of music instead of enduring it: each chord becomes a shape and a colour.
Memorise
You remember through shape and emotion, not by rote. The bearings stay stable from one scale to the next.
Play & accompany
The handpan becomes a true accompaniment instrument — sing over the songs you love.
