What is Notepan?


Notepan is a music notation software available on Windows and Mac OS. It’s designed specifically for handpan players, allowing you to read, play back, and work with handpan tablatures interactively.


Do I need to subscribe to Notepan to access the tablatures?


No, you don't! When you subscribe to the Academy or purchase a course that has been added to Notepan, you automatically get access to the tablatures for free — even without a Notepan subscription.


Normally, Notepan is a subscription-based software but as a MasterTheHandpan student, you can:


  • Read and play back the tablatures
  • Export them to PDF, MP3, or WAV for free, without paying for a Notepan subscription.


Advanced features like editing, transposing, or accessing the full Notepan library are reserved for paying Notepan users.
