I have never played an instrument: is the "Essentials" pack really suitable for beginners?

Absolutely, 1000%!

When David created the "Essentials" course for beginners, he put himself in the shoes of someone who has never played music before and is discovering the handpan for the very first time.

This course starts from scratch with setup, touch techniques, understanding your scale, etc. So yes, it’s perfectly suited for you

But it also goes beyond the basics: you’ll learn numerous rhythms with their variations and discover how to apply them to your scale to compose your own pieces.

By the end of this course, your touch will be precise, your left and right hand strikes balanced, you’ll have a wide range of rhythms and advanced patterns, and a great toolkit of playing techniques.

If you'd like to hear from different teachers and put your growing skills into practice, or if you plan to learn beyond the basics, we highly recommend checking out the Academy, which will give you access to the Essentials course along with all other courses from Master The Handpan !
