Handpan masterclasses
On 31 May during the day Malte will give two workshops: one for beginners and one intermediate level.

Beginners masterclass
You are new to the handpan?
There's probably no teacher in Europe who has more expertise on guiding handpan enthusiasts on their first steps into the realms of expression and music creation than Malte Marten. In the past 5 years he accompanied more than 3000 beginner and intermediate players on their handpan journey.
In this 3-hour masterclass you'll be guided through 3 easy steps that lead you right into group playing, self-expression and a foundational understanding of the handpan itself. The Malte Marten Method focuses on a joyful and effortless skill acquisition regardless of prior musical knowledge. No instrument needed. No skill level needed. Just an open heart & open mind and the willingness to explore music and yourself a bit more.
This masterclass is for people with no experience at all to less than 1 year of playing / people who genuinely describe themselves as beginners :-).
Intermediate masterclass
The 3-hour masterclass for intermediate players focuses on self-expression, grooves, patterns and everything else passionated handpan players want to learn about. Malte Marten has not only established a unique playing style within the past 10 years, but also came up with a teaching / learning method, that helps every handpan player to unlock true freedom on their instrument - no matter if you're about grooves and patterns or rather expression and meditative playing.
This masterclass is structured into three different blocks:
- The three pillars of Malte's playing and how to use them for YOUR playing
- How to come up with endless variations of new patterns
- Open space for your handpan related questions and needs

This masterclass is for people with 1 year or more of handpan experience / people who genuinely describe themselves as intermediate players.
Handpans will be provided for all participants, but you can bring your own instrument, if you have specific questions regarding your instrument / scale.
We are very excited that Malte will take us on this special musical journey for a whole day. It’s will be a new experience for us as well, one that we look forward to very much.
