ALL YOU NEED TO UNLOCK YOUR HANDPAN

THE MISSING PIECE

You just got your handpan and don’t know where to start?
You sit down to play, but end up repeating the same few notes over and over again?
You want to play freely and musically, but somehow everything still sounds random?

This is a very common place to be.

Many players feel stuck at the beginning because they don’t fully understand how the scale works or how the notes connect. And without that understanding, it’s hard to find flow, confidence, and a clear musical direction.

This course is designed exactly for that moment. It gives you a simple and practical shortcut to understand your handpan, connect the notes, and finally start playing in a way that feels natural and musical.

ABOUT THE COURSE

The D Kurd is the most popular handpan scale in the world, known for its emotional depth, versatility, and its ability to sound beautiful right from the beginning. In this course, you’ll learn how the scale works in a simple and easy-to-follow way.

Together with Malte, you’ll explore the layout of your instrument, understand how the tones connect, and learn patterns that sound musical right away. You’ll discover how to build chords, create melodies, and move naturally across the handpan. Step by step, you’ll grow from playing single notes to developing your own flow and musical ideas.

“The D Kurd was the very first scale I truly learned to play on. It’s the instrument that shaped my musical journey and helped me understand the handpan in a deep and intuitive way. Over the years, I’ve seen thousands of students start with this exact scale and fall in love with playing just as I did. That’s why I created this course — to bring together everything I’ve learned about the D Kurd in one place. All the essential patterns, ideas, and insights that help you progress quickly, feel confident, and experience real musical flow from the very beginning. This approach has proven itself over many years of teaching, and I’m excited to share it with you.”
