What students say
@olgamogilatova_yogaTechnique & BasicsAll this time I played intuitively, but I realized the basics are simply essential for moving forward and developing technique. So grateful to Denis for the lessons!
@matiaspubTechnique breakdownGreat feedback! Denis assessed my first attempts at playing handpan and pinpointed exactly what to work on and where to level up.
@yoga.light.nowInspiration & practiceLessons with Denis are incredibly inspiring! By the 5th lesson we were already working through a full composition from his first album.
@ana.chebotarevaLong-term learningAlready 1.5 years into this incredible musical journey with Denis. Huge thanks for the path, the support, and the inspiration!

FAQ
Before you start
Yes, 100%. The lessons are filmed on Novadrum instruments, but the playing mechanics, rhythmic patterns, and principles of improvisation are the same for both handpan and tongue drum — it doesn't matter which one you're holding.
Yes — the course is built for starting from zero. We don't use sheet music; the whole method is built on visual diagrams, a feel for rhythm, and a step-by-step path from your very first touch on the instrument.
You get instant access to the first block with no credit card — just leave your email. That's enough to judge the video quality and Denis's teaching style, play your first rhythms, and decide if you want the full course.
Access to the lessons in your chosen plan is forever. Learn at your own pace, on any device, with no deadlines.
Start with the free lessons — you can understand the mechanics without an instrument in hand. When you're ready, check the "Buy an instrument" section: Denis sells handpans directly, and tongue drums come from our partner Novadrum.
Yes, within 14 days of payment, as long as you haven't started the paid lessons (5–18).
