Handpan Workshops in 2024

This year, I will be hosting impromptu workshops in my studio at Maroubra Beach. There will be workshops targeted for beginners as well as intermediate players. Some of these workshops will be in collaboration with Celestial Sound Instruments where participants will be playing with the same type of handpan to enable groups activities and practices.

Testimonials

I have been Baran’s Handpan student for nine months. He is patient, engaging and encouraging. Baran creates an atmosphere of positive creativity and has expanded my understanding of Handpan musicology by employing his experience and professionalism. He makes inciteful suggestions that are tailor-made for me. As a classically trained musician, Baran exhibits all the wonderful qualities of a great artist who keenly imparts his knowledge to his students. I am honoured to know this wonderful man and be his student.

Baran’s handpan workshop was such a great first hand pan experience!! Baran and all other participants were all so welcoming and lovely and I found it really easy to understand Baran’s teaching. I also loved the instructional handpan videos he provided and I look forward to watching them again. I woke up the next day really wishing I had a hand pan to play on. I'm looking forward to receiving my handpan and joining into a future workshop session and meeting up with other players.

I have done a few of Baran’s workshops now and have thoroughly enjoyed the challenge and satisfaction of learning this amazing instrument. Baran’s teaching method is really easy to follow and he had us all playing in no time. Because he is so passionate and talented with this instrument, it makes the workshops loads of fun. Highly recommend and thanks Baran 

Alex S. (Northern Rivers, NSW)

Baran’s handpan workshops were a huge help for me; showing new ways to explore my instrument, bringing new feelings and intentions to my playing and helping me to grow in my musicality and creativity. He holds incredible musical talent and knowledge, deep understanding of handpans, as well as a kind gentle compassionate teaching style with crystal clear communication. I highly recommend Baran’s workshops.

Nicholas S. (Mullumbimby, NSW)

I was fortunate to have Baran as my handpan teacher. Baran combines knowledge of music theory and practical skills in his classes. He is patient and adapts his teaching style based on student needs. I highly recommend Baran if you want to learn how to play music.

Baran , hearing you play moved something in me , a feeling of calm , excitement and a desperate need to learn to play . I know I haven’t been the fastest learner but you have been the most patient teacher that has allowed me to learn at my own pace . Thank you for keeping it simple yet exciting , for pushing me but not scaring me away . It’s been a dream of mine to learn a musical instrument  and you’ve given me the courage to do that  . It’s been such a pleasure , thank you
