About
Beginner / intermediate friendly In this course: - 3 songs focussing on 3 elements of handpan playing + singing - Exercises specific to each song - Warmups + Meditations - A selection of bitesize song snippets to springboard your own songwriting - Songbooks containing notation for a number of handpan scales About the songs: Fire Song - burn fears and expectations of your own ability. Learn a simple groove, 2 chords and repeating vocal phrase. Fun, lighthearted, good for campfires! Breathe - meditate, control the breath and play slow. Learn a four chord song, arpeggios + polyrhythms. Gentle, inward facing Freedom Song - sing proud, groove hard! Learn a more complex groove, integrate into a four chord pattern and sing for freedom. This course was originally taught as a zoom class with live participants, it is made up of recordings from the classes and has a very interactive approach. I have adapted the original recordings to work in the course portal space, as well as adding bonus videos + challenges. I teach on a D Kurd, but I provide notation for a range of different scales so that you can transpose to your instrument. By the end of this course you will be able to accompany yourself while singing, you will have 3 brand new songs in your repertoire, and you will have the tools and experience needed to start creating your own songs. The voice and handpan are taught together as one, integrating the two from start to finish. Let's sing!
