What are handpan songs?

No handpan lesson will teach you which notes are on your handpan because everyone assumes you already know. But if for some reason you don't know, it's worth finding out. You can see the sound fields on your handpan, which have different sized bulges. These are the handpan notes and our models come with 9 notes in the sound field, i.e. in the circle (which is called the choir) around the middle field, which is called the ding. So the D minor Sonodrum handpans have 9 plus 1 fields - contain a total of 10 sound fields, or notes. You can use these notes to play Handpan Songs easy if you have downloaded the Handpan Songs free PDF , which you can order from us free of charge.

Almost all songs can be turned into a handpan song if you take into account the tables and sound fields that you will find in a handpan easy song music book . Usually the notes are given in logical format, with the pitch increasing as you play in number order from left to right and back to front.

With an inexpensive digital tuner, you can easily find out which notes you have on your handpan. You can identify each note and check at the same time whether it is out of tune, so you can easily start playing your first handpan songs. Once you know which notes you have on your handpan, you should be able to play up and down the scale and then interpret your first handpan songs.

Learn handpan songs easily

We have already talked about the notes of the handpan and that there are tables that teach you the symbols and how you should play notes. Should it be one long, sustained note, or three short strikes on the same sound field? You can find this table and the names of the notes with the conversion of each normal note in our Handpan Songs free PDF music book .

For example, there are certain terms that you should first master, such as:

• Crosstalk: An undesirable interaction between two or more notes, i.e. when the sound of one or more notes negatively interferes with other notes.

or

• Ding: The middle note on the top of the instrument, which may have a concave or convex shape. The ding is usually the lowest note and the root (fundamental) of the instrument's scale.

Is it difficult to learn handpan songs

It's not difficult to learn handpan songs because the instrument is very intuitive and you can even play your first handpan songs by ear . Here are some tips to get you started.

Your handpan playing position

Most commonly, you will find players playing the handpan sitting down, but it is also possible to play the handpan standing up. This ultimately depends on your personal preference or the circumstances in which you practice or play.

Handpan position – front or back?

This is an interesting point. It's a question we get regularly regarding the playing position of the handpan. It depends on what song you're playing, but most of the time the high notes are positioned towards your body.

Should you play your handpan on your lap or on a stand?

The cheapest option is of course to play the handpan on your lap. However, you may prefer to play standing up or you may not be able to get comfortable enough to play sitting down for long periods of time.

Start playing and first playing notes

The very basis for striking the handpan is the idea that it is too hot to touch. Like testing the bottom of an iron to see if it is hot. A dab with the thumb or finger, released immediately after striking the instrument, will release the most resonance and will not dampen the note.

Of course, muting will become a part of your playing as you practice more advanced handpan songs , but for now, you should start with these simple strumming movements.

Learn basic rhythms on the handpan

What is the importance of rhythm in music? - Rhythm can play a crucial role in keeping a melody going in a song. It determines the tempo of the music, whether slow or fast, and the " groove ," the " feel ," the " meaning ." The ability to change rhythm can also create drama and impact in a composition in your handpan songs .

The most common rhythm in music is 4/4. This is the rhythm you usually hear in all types of music. Ideal for beginners.

Alternating use of both hands on the handpan

Being able to play equally well with both hands will help your development in handpan playing.

You have a dominant hand, be it the left or the right, and train the non-dominant side. You can do this by reversing some exercises. The effort will be worth it. You will find many rhythmic exercises in our Handpan Songs free music book for download.

If you have ever played drums, or drums specifically, or even "drummed" along to Phil Collins, then you may already have some basic knowledge of alternating and independent hand coordination that will help you.

When you start playing melodies or even composing your own handpan songs , a weakness in one hand or the other becomes apparent.

TIP: This crazy trick will be your best handpan lesson ever - and you don't even need a handpan!

Shave with your less dominant hand or brush your hair or teeth that way. Doing everyday things with your non-dominant hand will help your playing technique. It's almost instinctive to use your dominant hand for these mindless tasks. Switch it up today! It will be difficult at first, but after a few days of sticking with it, your brain will make the connection and realize that it needs to send better signals to the hand that is now doing a task it never did before.

Within a week of doing this simple task for just one minute a day , your less dominant hand will catch up with the ability of your dominant hand.
