Handpan Immersion Workshop

WITH OSCAR CORDERO
SATURDAY JANUARY 10TH
10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

The Handpan, or Hang Drum, a modern, melodic percussion instrument, is played with light touch of the hands and fingers.  Known for its resonant, harmonic, and relaxing sound, its note fields are tuned precisely to a specific musical scale. This immersive workshop designed for beginners presents a portal to a unique musical journey.  We will dedicate time to technique for precise touch to achieve clean, resonant tones.  We will practice essential rhythms with simple fundamental patterns to create hypnotic pulsations.  Then we will find our first melody, integrating scale and rhythm to play with confidence a short, graceful song.  Many people consider playing and listening to the Handpan a therapeutic experience.  The way multiple tones sound simultaneously creates a rich, enveloping sonic texture, both pleasing and complex, which captivates our attention promoting meditative relaxation.  Playing the Handpan is an intuitive expression, which allows musicians of all levels to enter easily into states of flow.
