I have been playing guitar for 45 years and drums for 43 years (in three bands with almost exclusively self-composed songs). Now I wanted to take a new musical path and initially thought of playing the harp again, as I did 20 years ago for 4 years. While watching the harp videos, I discovered the handpan, played by Malte Marten, for the first time in the recommendations for other videos.
"Bloody hell", I thought to myself. Why only now, when I'm already 62 years old. But after all, you're never too old to learn something new. Everything looked so easy on the videos of handpan players. As a drummer, I shouldn't have any problems, I thought. When I got my Sela 220 Melody Handpan D Kurd a few days ago and started playing, or rather trying to play, I was extremely frustrated and thought this purchase was probably a mistake. So I started looking for videos that offered hanpan tutorials on TH-cam. At first I watched the tutorials in my native German, which were quite good, but the spark just wouldn't quite ignite. Then I discovered Amy by chance. Her absolutely authentic, relaxed and likeable manner rekindled my hopes of becoming a handpan player after all. And after what I've seen in her videos so far, I'll probably book her masterclass course too. Thank you so much, Amy, without you I would certainly have sent the pan back!
Amazing! Welcome to handpan land :)
Just received my hadpan today. I was lost and, at my age (75 years), it was not easy. Frankly, your video is precious and so complete, including body training. Thank you ever so much, Amy, you're a great teacher. And a very nice girl. Take care. Love from Paris.
Hello where can you by the handpan i want .one thanks
I just ordered a handpan today…at 70 years.
Good for us! ♥️
Yes…I’m a new handspan drummer…I have long history with conga’s so this is next step. DONATE to Amy..gratitude in action !
I ‘m also 75…follow ur bliss ! No way I could afford $304 but must listen to that all 🥰
@@yogapilatesanywhere I bought it at Thomann. Good price and good quality.
I watched 4 different beginner guides before i finally came across yours, which was the only guide that talked about posture and position, thank you so much for this thorough guide!
Amazing. Thank you. I'm glad it was helpful
My boyfriend bought me a hand plan for christmas which only arrived 2 sleeps ago. It is beautiful, and i was so keen to get playing.
I watched some other youtuber teachers, which taught me some imprtant things but i found them to be more rushed and very overwhelming for my adhd self.
Usually the warm up/get prepared parts of any video gets skipped because i am either too eager or cant focus enough. However, the posture and stretching in this video left me feeling incredibly limber and with a quiet mind. I will be putting on meditation music and practicing this each time.
The scales and patterens you taught in this video left me feeling aconplished, while making it simple for me to pinpoint exacly what i need to work on.
Thanks to you, i will be practicing every day and hopefully i will soon develop my skills enough to invest in your masterclass.
Thank you from australia!
I’ve been teaching classical drawing and painting techniques for two decades to thousands of students.
Change nothing, you are an inspirational tutor with wonderful teaching skills.
This video had clear and concise instruction which was technique based, well structured and easy to follow.
In this video you made a connection with your students showing an understanding of what it’s like from their perspective. Good tutors always remember what it was like when they started learning and teach through the eyes of their students.
I will certainly signup to your Patreon page.
This is absolutely superb teaching … clear, concise but incredibly detailed. I can’t wait to learn from these videos when I have saved up enough to get my first Meridian hand pan
I did not intend on really watching this, i just clicked it, i play manny instraments, and for manny years, but i tell you what, this is a top level guide, you presented this sooo well, how you space your words, and take breaf brakes, real easy to listen to you, keep up the great work, top marks, propper tutorial, every comment is so posative, your doing SO well, thank you for shareing your art, just wow..
nice vid. just gave in and bought a handpan last night. been watching these types of vids for last 3 years. love the sound. im not a musician, i just wanna try something new in life.
How is it going 7 months later? I want to buy one too but its a big investment
You are such a delight! You speak so clearly and your teaching skills are marvelous! I just bought a used handpan ( and yes, one note is a bit off, but.... used...) and you are already helping me a lot!!! Thank you so much!!!!
You are such a wonderful teacher 🎉
You’re so awesome
Thank you so much for your excellent explanation and great teachings
What a wealth of information, thank you Amy!
A wonderful guide for a total novice like me. Thanks Amy
Awesome! Thank you so much 🙏
Thank you, Amy 🥰 your lesson was so helpful
You're a legend. Thank you for teaching this! This is so helpful! You're a very strong teacher 💯
Omg i just got my handpan and you make it look so easy the way you strike it. I need some practice...
Best tutorial ever seen. Thank you very much
I just started to play handpan last week! Here in my country, (Japan) there are not enough handpan lesson videos, information, or classes.
I watch your lesson videos every day and practice.
Your lessons are very clear and help me a lot🙏🏼
Thank you so so much Amy, arigatou❤
(I would be happy if you could make a lesson video for E sabye again✨)
I'm getting my handpan soon too. Really also really also want to improve my Japanese.
日本語が話しましょう 😊
@@osvetlik はーい！
おやすみなさい。
Thank you so much for this beautiful tutorial, God bless
Thanks for your teaching ❤
So cool! Thank you for teaching💕
You’re an angel!! Thank you ❤❤❤
You such an awesome teacher.. now I really want a pan
Amazing video for beginners, thank you sooo much for your time 🌸
Thank you so much, it really helps me getting a start. Youre a natural teacher
Thank you for all the information. ❤❤
Thank you Amyyyy!!! I just don´t believe it! I followed your instructions throughout the video, and doing things ever imaging to be doing. I am sooo grateful!! And liking even more such an amazing instrument!!
Fantastic. As I am deciding what drum I want, this was a wonderful experience of exploring the HandPan. I am 64 and drawn to the HandPan and Rav Vast.
Thank you for doing this video and covering so much fundamental information! How to stretch and take care of your body---stuff I need to learn and do even outside of playing the handpan! I've had a handpan for a year but never could figure out how to make it sound any good. Other videos I think assume that we know the basics, which I don't. I have a keyboard and wind instrument background so percussion is a whole new world. Look forward to practicing with your videos and making my handpan sing like you can!
Thank you Amy, this is so amazing, you are a natural teacher!!! Such a nice way. My pan will be arriving Monday, but ime practicing with you on a lid of a cooking pan, to get some techniques before it arrives. Thank you so much!!!
Thank you 🙏 that was fantastic lesson ❤
Thanks!
I'm in love. Also thanks for the dope handpan lesson.
Thank you. Wonderful tutorial. New to it. Waiting for my first pan as I write this and enjoying your video. Wishing you great and continued success!!!
Thank you for this video. I'm looking forward to learning how to play my UFO and incorporating it into my band's music
Great teacher!!
Omg 😱 this has helped me so much thank you so much on this journey on how to play 🙏 truly appreciate your lesson ❤️ 👋 from 🇺🇸
Timely, my handpan will be arriving any day now. This guide will be good .

I’m so happy to find you here😊thank you so much ❤️
You are so welcome!
Thank you ❤ 🙏
Amy, you are so wunderful! When ever i look for videos for inspiration with my lovely handpan i rest and enjoy your channel with your lovely kind of playing and talking to us. In your videos you make us feel like be together with you an our pans. That's great; i feel a lot off inspiration. Thank you so much!
You're such a great teacher... Being a drummer of 15 years.. This is such a great a delicate different technique. Thank you for being so descriptive.
Yesss, lots of transferable skills, but a completely different touch!
Amy, thank you for your videos I love how clear your teaching is. I've just ordered my first pan and can not wait to open the box, get comfy and replay this video..... I pray I can get mine to sound as beautiful as yours lol.
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Enjoy the new pan 🥰

❤ Thanks again, Amy. I am glad I can produce something slightly more appealing on my handpan now. Now to practice, that's always the hard part for me.
You can do it!
Thank you so much! Namaste 🙏

Hahaha Have fun!
Love You 😊❤
Thanks a lot!
Thanks you fir this lesson .by i need instrument to play
Thank you so much for the tutorial I think those fingering, taping and being delicate from left to right techniques will come in handy later tonight when my handpan arrives. I am so excited!
Happy new handpan day!
Thank you so much for the video. What handpan do you recommend to start with?
Great video! What make of handpan and key is the handpan in the last two sections of your video please? It sounds great.
you rock!! thanks for this amazing video. i’ll buy a handpan soon and this is so helpful!
Thank you for putting out your wisdom on this beautiful instrument the handpan.
In your opinion what would be the best way to purchase a handpan online?
Hi Amy, Thanks so much for sharing this. It's really helpful and de-mystifying! I'm just looking into getting my first handpan. Which scale is this? Thanks
Helping alot
Holy shit you are amazing dear one!! You also give the lessons as if you are a movement specialist (like a physical therapist). I want to get one for years, pretty expensive and had one under my fingers today, pretty challenging though (cause i did not saw your video!) YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!
I am doing your stretches every day.
Hey, thanks videos
Спасибо 🙏
Hi hun, I love watching you play. You make it look so easy. Are they all built so the top is level?
Wonderful ❤
I wish i could afford a handpan... ao relaxing... maybe one day, and at least i know where and how to get started :)
Hi Amy, Thank you so very much for posting these tutorials! New sub who recently fell in love with Sunni Sessionz playing on you tube and then found you next! I am soo excited to learn this instrument as I currently play trumpet, guitar and harmonica. Looking to get my first handpan at a reasonable price and so wondered if you have heard of any of the following manufacturers?: Ebusin; YuELinG or Eavnbaek? Any advice is greatly appreciated! Hope to be floowing along with you for a long time. Many, many thanks! Terry, 60+ in South Florida.
gratitude
Thank you ❤️💡thank you thank you 😊
Hello mate, great video! Do you have any reccomendations on where to buy your first handpan?
I live In the UK too, I have seen a variety ofnproces from £200 up to £2500. They all have different scales that I don't really understand. Any help would be welcomed. Thanks so much.
i AM GREATFUL YOU CAN SHOW US HOW TO LOVE THE HAND PAN , BLESSINGS
Thank you for this! Interesting tip about the angle downwards. How does it not tend to slip/shift further down though? Seems like a pretty smooth material without a lot of grip, no? Or are you squeezing it with your legs perhaps?
hello. Do you like a nitrated or stainless steel handpan better? Just curious, as I'm about to buy my first pan if you had a recommendation for a beginner.
Wait my sound is being muted out. Is it a bad made Handpan ? My technique? Or both? How can I tell if it's a good one your playing
Thank you for this video. I'm thinking between a handpan and a Rav drum. How much of these techniques transfer over to the Rav drum?
Almost everything is transferable. But I'm also working on some rav tutorials now 😊
Hello Ana ..i dont have my handpan ..which coubtry are you and where can by? Price infobplease Thanks
Best handpan? Thank ❤
I wanna buy one.
What is a good one?
Which hand pan are you using?
Also, I'm a complete beginner. I see in this video that you also have a Rav. I really like them both but right now I can only get one. What do you recommend I get first? I'm thinking about what would be the easiest to play, quickest to learn. Which one has the most tutorials online.
Thanks.
I think there are more tutorials for handpan, but the basic skills are all transferable. The intricacies start to differ the more advanced you get. I'm not sure if either is easier to play, I would just go for which you are drawn to the most. Both feel like pretty different instruments in terms of sound and dynamic.
Where to buy
I just received my first handpan...however, I also just had shoulder surgery and can only use one hand. Do you have any videos on focusing on one hand. I know learning requires we use one hand with both hands (I used to play drums so I am very aware of the concept)...but can you give me something specifically for a one handed player? Imagine an amputee trying to play and create rhythms with one hand. I'm sure practicing will always get the results, but I am hoping to watch you working this way. Thank you!!!
I don't have any specific for just one hand, but you can certainly practice drills with one. Things like double stroke rolls, finger rolls, wrist rotation exercises. Have a browse of my channel and see what you can find to modify for one hand.
In the meantime, this video explores a couple different ways to play the same groove. One way is to play it all with one and in order to free up your other. This might be helpful for getting a groove going ☺️

Hello, may I know which handpan this is, and where to possibly purchase?
Thank you. I am excited to begin expressing with handpan. Thank you🙏, 🌈🌤
This is a D Kurd from Aciel Handpan
@@AmyNaylorMusic thank you.
Hope you enjoy playing at your next travels and gatherings😊🌈💕
what manufactures hardpan are you using and what tone is it? minor? major? C#? thank you in advance :)
This is a D kurd (minor scale)
@@AmyNaylorMusic wonderful sound thx
Woher hast Du die Handpan ⁉️wo kauft man denn so etwas ein??? 😊
so does temperature affect the sound of the pan itself?
Direct sunlight and heat sends it temporarily out of tune. Quite drastically
Could you please recommend a site to purchase a handpan
This is a good guide to find a maker near you www.masterthehandpan.com/handpan-makers-directory
Cool lady!
🥰❣
Amazing, thank you ✨✨🎵

I'm a big person. I can't get my handpan to stay balanced on my lap in a sitting position unless I'm sitting on the ground with my legs wide with the bottoms of my feet touching. Getting a rhythm is hard as the combinations and patterns confuse me, and I lose it. To sit in a chair, I would have to have a stand 🤷♂️
