SMALL CLASS FOCUSED HANDPAN INSTRUCTION
Let's be honest, handpan festivals and the workshops that take place during them are incredible! But do you find yourself wanting to learn more? Having the opportunity to deepen your connection with the handpan in a handpan immersion WHILE at a handpan festival sounds like the experience for you.
With the addition of Mumi to this year’s lineup, we’ve added an extra session! During the Master Class Series, a group of 16 players will spend together, where you’ll learn various techniques to support your playing, grounding you in your unique flow so that you can play with greater comfort and confidence. You will learn:
common ways to start and build your own grooves & patterns while generating inspiration through improvisation, mindfulness & awareness techniques.
composition and introduce some ways to, tastefully, blend the technical and melodic elements of handpan playing.
specific grooves and fills, practice routines, phrasing, structure, and much more.
The Master Class Series sessions occur Thursday to Sunday and some take place at the same time as other Heartland Hangout workshops, but will not overlap with other Master Classes. You are not required, but very strongly encouraged to attend all sessions. More information coming soon, regarding the topics per educator.
This education series is for players who have comfort with basic handpan technique including ding, tone fields, slaps, rhythm, groove and patterns. If you’re unsure about your fit for the immersion, send a 1-minute video of you playing handpan to ConnectWithTheHeartland@gmail.com.
Only 2026 Heartland Handpan Hangout main weekend attendees are eligible to attend the Master Class Series. No matter your goals or stylistic preference, the Master Class Series will provide great benefits to your playing ... the handpan and in life.
