Beginner Handpan Lessons – Online & In Person
Interested in learning the handpan but don’t know where to start? You’re in the right place.
I offer relaxed, creative, and beginner-friendly handpan lessons, both online via Zoom and in-person in South London. Whether you’re completely new to music or already play another instrument, you’ll learn how to get beautiful sounds out of your handpan — and enjoy the process from day one.
Have you been drawn to the sound of the handpan — warm, resonant, and meditative? Are you curious about learning to play it? You’re in the right place.
I’m Dave, a musician and handpan teacher based in South London. I offer relaxed, one-to-one handpan lessons for complete beginners, either online or in-person in London. You don’t need any musical background — just a willingness to explore sound, rhythm, - and your own creativity.
What You’ll Learn:
- 🎵 Getting comfortable with the instrument
- 🪘 Learn through movement and touch, not theory
- 🎼 Building simple rhythms and flowing patterns
- 🎵 Improvisation!
- 👂 Learning to play by ear and feel — no sheet music
- 🧘 A safe, low-pressure space to explore sound
- 🍃 Perfect for personal rituals, meditation or just slowing down
- 🌍 Online or in-person options available
Lessons are welcoming and flexible — no pressure, just music at your own pace, whether you want to play calming soundscapes, build rhythm - or eventually jam with others.
No sheet music. No performance anxiety. Just sound, rhythm and room to breathe.

Sometimes we don’t need more noise. We need a space to listen, move with rhythm and reconnect — gently and without pressure.
The handpan offers that space. I’m here to help you step into it.
