"Amazing courses and a great teacher! Every lesson comes with a little composition, so you can practice the new technique and at the same time learn a new piece of music. The courses are perfect for every player, no matter what musical background or experience the have."

- Milena Holtz

"I love that every lesson is explained very clearly and together with the notations of the different rhythms and notes, you can't fail to learn to play the handpan properly. The play along tracks make it pleasant to practice and to keep time (without having to listen to a dull metronome). The courses (level 1 to level 3) consist of challenging techniques, cool rhythms and nice melody lines. An all-in-one package. I can really recommend it!"

- Kristien Dauwe

"Since 3 months I play handpan and already became addicted to it. I'm very very happy with the Handpandojo courses. I learned so much from your aproach. Every detail is worked out very carefully, which provides me a profound fundament."
