A Founders' Message

An open letter from the founders: welcome to the age of shared dreams for the handpan world ! ✹

MasterTheHandpan - Learning handpan made simple & fun

Hello Handpan Friends,

We’re really excited to share some big news with you today!

After lots of conversations and planning, we’ve decided to join forces and bring our MasterTheHandpan and Handpan Dojo platforms together.

This comes from a shared passion and respect for what we do, and we believe it will help us create something even more special for everyone in the handpan community.

We’ve always valued each other’s contributions to the handpan scene, and we’re excited to see what we can achieve together.

By joining forces, we’re ready to take these dreams further and create something truly special:

  • Bringing Our Strengths Together: By combining our strengths and teams, we’re building a platform that’s even more welcoming and supportive.‍
  • More Collaborations Ahead: We’re looking forward to working together in new ways and creating more opportunities for collaboration within the community. With our combined resources, we can offer more projects and support to keep the handpan world thriving.‍
  • A Growing Handpan World: The handpan world is changing and growing, and we want to be a part of that evolution. Our united platform will be a place where you can find great teachers, explore the art of the handpan, and feel supported as part of a vibrant community.

We share the same dreams for the handpan world. We both believe in its power to connect people and inspire creativity.

Thanks for being part of this amazing community.

Your passion keeps us going, and we’re excited to continue this journey with you !

Warmly,

David Charrier

Founder of MasterTheHandpan

Everything you need to know

What’s Next? Here’s How It All Works 💡

Will my access to my courses change?

Nope, everything stays the same. You can keep accessing your courses just like before, using the same login and credentials.

Is the platform changing?

No, nothing is changing.

Are there any changes to the community or the village?

None at all! We’re staying in the same place, but we’ll be expanding the family by welcoming Handpan Dojo students.

How can I purchase a course from Handpan Dojo?

The 12 courses from Handpan Dojo will be available for individual purchase on MasterTheHandpan's website. They’ll also be included within the Academy.

I previously bought one or more courses on Handpan Dojo—what happens now?

All the courses you purchased on Handpan Dojo will automatically be added to your student account. You don’t need to do anything! No more switching between platforms—everything will be in one place, with just one account. đŸ€©

I’m a member of the Academy—do I need to pay extra to access the Handpan Dojo courses?

Nope! Even though we’re adding 12 new online courses to the Academy’s catalog, we wanted to gift them to you. So, the catalog is expanding from 22 to 32 online courses at no additional cost. Yep, the Academy is awesome! đŸ”„

I’m not a member of the Academy—what does this mean for me?

Not much changes for you. Your access to your courses remains the same, and you can continue learning handpan by purchasing individual courses. The Handpan Dojo courses will also be available for purchase on MasterTheHandpan.

Individual courses or the Academy?

It depends on what you’re looking for. You can keep buying courses individually, but we highly recommend considering The Academy because:

  • For the price of 3 individual courses, you can get a one-year membership to the Academy and access all 32 courses.
  • Alternatively, for 29$ / month, you can access all our existing courses and any new ones that come out. Plus, you’ll join the Village.

The Village is a vibrant community of handpan enthusiasts. This platform was designed to let you share and connect with handpan lovers worldwide. Without ads or algorithms, it offers organized spaces, enriching resources, and monthly events like:

  • MasterTheHappy Hour: An online hangout with David K, David C, and Sylvain Paslier to get to know each other and discuss the handpan world.
  • Live workshops: Hosted by our instructors on specific topics.
  • Challenges: Community challenges to push each other and have some fun!
  • Student Focus: Live sessions where David K, David C, Dan Mulqueen, and surprise artists comment and give feedback on students' videos.
When is the launch?

We’re planning to launch at the end of October. If you’re a student, you’ll receive all the info by email. If you’re not a student yet, sign up here because we’re planning an awesome event with lots of giveaways to celebrate!

Do I need to do anything at this point?

No, at this point, nothing is required from you. You’ll receive an email when everything is ready, explaining everything. Sit back and relax!

Will the Handpan Dojo instructors participate in the Academy’s live events?

Yes! We already have several events planned on the Village Calendar. David Kuckhermann will also join us for some Happy Hours and Student Focus sessions. Yep, we’re teaming up now! 🙂
