# I don't understand the notation system

|| The Notation system can be tricky to understand if you switched from a Handpan Dojo course to a Master The Handpan course, and vice-versa.

As of November 2024, the two online platforms of Master The Handpan and Handpan Dojo merged to become the biggest online handpan school. Previously, both platforms were using different notation systems. 

Now, the team is working hard to make everything work as seamlessly as possible. In the meantime you'll find both notation explanations in David Charrier's [Essentials course](https://www.masterthehandpan.com/courses/handpan-tutorials-lessons-for-beginner-players) and David Kuckhermann's [Level 1 course](https://www.masterthehandpan.com/courses/level-1-beginner-david-kuckhermann).
