Summer Handpan Workshop Series

From First Note → Live Performance in 5 Weeks

Step into the meditative, melodic world of the handpan and discover your own musical voice.

In this 5-week immersive workshop, you’ll go from learning the very basics—how to strike and create beautiful tones—to collaborating, improvising, and performing in a live group concert.

No experience required—just curiosity, presence, and a willingness to explore.

A Rare Opportunity: Learn + Own Your Instrument

The option to own a professional-quality handpan at a massive discount—while learning how to actually play it.

About the Instructor

Mark D'Ambrosio
Mark D’Ambrosio works at the intersection of acoustic percussion and cinematic atmosphere. Based in Colorado but frequently in transit, his compositions use the handpan as a lens to explore texture, space, and depth. The result is a sound that is less about the instrument itself and more about the emotional resonance left in its wake.

Having performed across Europe, Asia, and North America, D’Ambrosio has developed a reputation for a disciplined, singular approach to sound. His live sets—ranging from small, intimate performances, to expansive festival environments—are focused on the raw, unadorned qualities of the handpan, occasionally punctuated by subtle electronic nuance.

Beyond his solo output, he is the founder of PlanetHandpan.com and Steel Mountain Handpan Gathering, initiatives dedicated to the global cultivation and evolution of the handpan instrument.
