For the first time in Bonn, handpan artist Edoardo Striani will teach a workshop for complete beginners giving you the opportunity to try this wonderful instrument.

The workshop will contain all the information necessary to start your handpan journey, alternating theory and lots of practice.

It is designed for those who have never played the handpan and want to try it, and all the instruments, professional handpans from well established builders, will be provided.

No knowledge of music or other instruments is required.

After the workshop you will be able to perform different melodies and rhythms in a fun and relaxed environment. It will also be possible to rent or purchase an instrument.

About me:

I have been playing percussion since 2010 and the handpan since 2012. I collaborate with many handpan builders for which I make videos, tutorials and online classes. I have played in various festivals in Italy and in Europe and taught hundreds of students holding workshops in Italy, Switzerland, Germany and Luxembourg.
