TEACHER PROFILE

Kim West

SPOKANE, WASHINGTON/USA

Discover the joy of learning to play your handpan with
Kim West, a Malte Marten Method trained handpan instructor.

Kim's approach: As a registered nurse and a survivor of life experiences, I offer a gentle approach to learning to play a handpan. Playing my handpan enables me to genuinely thrive in my world.

Your first step: For many of us, being in a group may feel uncomfortable. Consider a 1:1 handpan discovery with Kim. Here, you can relax, feel welcomed, and learn how to play a handpan at your own pace.

  • What are some benefits of playing your own handpan?
    You may:

    • Experience a sense of restoring calm and inner balance.

    • Notice improved memory and right/left hand coordination. 

    • Find your musical ability can be easily expressed on the handpan. 

    • Relax, as no musical background knowledge is required. 

    Kim's vision: May the joy of playing handpan be an important part of our lives, creating all that is peace and goodwill, connecting us globally, and reflecting genuine intentions to treat ourselves and each other with loving kindness.
