Handpan Tutorial - The "Autopilot" Technique
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- In this handpan beginner tutorial we explore one of my favourite ways to mix up my jams and break out of the same "right left right left right left right left" cycle that I often get stuck in.
Get creative with it, don't be afraid to experiment!

🛸Take this technique to the next level with Autopilot Bassline🛸 ua-cam.com/video/19fzJdMuVMY/v-deo.html
Very good exercise for Poly rhythm thanks you Amy
I appreciate you teaching slowly. I recieved my hand pan today and have been practicing- but I found so many people that were like “look it’s easy, 1234…” than start playing a wicked fast banger 😂. It sounds amazing, but I think they’re so good, and it comes so easy they don’t realize how quickly they’re teaching
Really connected with you, I am 65 and playing music since 1968, majoring in guitar and Native American flute. You have a nice approach and I’m grateful for your time and help in this journey ☝🏻
My sentiments as well 👍🏼
I love your teaching method....simple, calming and very motivational!!! Thank you! I just subscribed to your channel ❤
One if not the best teach. Simple and beautiful. This simple moves and combinations with the change of timing between, and the soft or hard touch, I believe you can make incredible amount of melodies.
THANK YOU
Thank you!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It was absolutly the best Tutorial for Me as beginner ,thank you very much….. lovely
Hello from Germany, I just wanted to say thank you very much, I've only owned my handpan for 4 weeks and I've already learned so much from your videos. I once played drums many years ago and now I find my way back to music, with that wonderfull instrument . You explain everything really well. I hope for many more tutorials from you. Thanks for spendig your Time teaching us ❤️
Omg
You can’t believe how much you motivate me
You are the reason why Im going to be buying a hand pan!!!🥺thanks for the great content!
Hi just got my first handpan today and just found your videos today so a good day was had thank you
Welcome to the handpan gang! Woo!
This is going to be my very first lesson once I get mine in Friday. I'm feeling confident because your lessons make sense. Thank you!
Welcome to the wonderful land of the handpan!! Thanks so much for your support
Love the sound of your touch on these beautiful instruments. Thank you for teaching the world a nicer way of spending time...in meditation. ☯️🙏🏿
Your lessons are the MOST helpful, very clear and concise. I'm a musician and harpist, but just started playing handpan. Thanks to you, I'm developing a better understanding and stronger skills. Over the past 2 weeks, you gave me the tools to create new pieces I can actually play!
Thank you Amy for your patience and pace of teaching. I played right left for many years on a Djembe. loved it but all loud and power which really enjoyed therapeutically but now ready for a new start. My Handpan arrives next week a D Celtic and getting warmed up on my desk mat ready. Your style of teaching is ideal for me a real beginner in musical sense as have no idea of notes etc. As head into the Winter months and our tourism business all but closed this is the perfect tonic, so from a 68yr old I say a warm thank you.
You really know your stuff about music composition. I fully agree with all your concepts. Not too many people understand the importance of silence in music. The rhythm and pattern of silence is very important.
Merci, c'est encourageant, ça donne envie de s'y mettre, ça parait à la portée d'un débutant. Merci.
Hey, THANK YOU sooo much for your help. I've been working on this video of yours for a few days now. The feeling of my mind breaking away from normal behavior is truly magic. THANK YOU
You are really, really good at explaining and making the process seem easy. Thanks!
I'm so glad I found you! As so many have said in other comments, I'm loving your teaching style, energy, and personality. Thank you!!!
This is so much better than the guy teaching in French lol. 😂 Thank you you did a good job and have new ideas from all those guys in Europe 🎉
This is great! I was taught middle eastern percussion a few decades ago.. by a strict Egyptian traditional teacher. Your emphasis on consistency of tone between hands and slow addition of variations is SPOT ON to getting basics of an instrument so that real progress is possible. Thanks!
You’re creativity and kindness is a gift to this world. Thank you for teaching and being your fullest expression of self 🙏
Thank you so much for your support!! I really appreciate it 💚💚
Hello. I follow you from Turin Italy. I am not a musician and I have a hard time learning. I just started. I don't know english ... I use the translator. I hope to succeed thanks to you.😍
Vos explications sont limpides et votre démonstration convaincante. Bravo et merci !
I find your explanations clear and your demonstration convincing. Well done and thank you! 💐
Thank you so much! 🙏
Of all the tutorials I've tried, your tutorials make perfect sense. It's harder to learn a new discipline in your 40s and 50s! Thank you!
Wow! Really your teaching techniques are quiet amazing.
I just bought my handpan and I am very grateful I found your videos. It’s amazing how you teach, I really love your kindness and patience, especially for the new beginners like me. Thank you very much 😊
Here I am three years after the video was made and its still brilliant! ;) Thanks for this one Amy. Really helpful.
Thanks Phil!
Hello form Italy, Thank you for this tutorial, very best tutorial, i play form 20 days and this bring me to next level!
amazing. thanks amy! ☻
Hi, I’m getting a hand pan next week and was looking for inspirational and constructive help. I really like your way of showing and teaching. Super helpful.
Thanks Julian. Welcome to the handpan club! Hehe
I believe, and I hope you don’t laugh me off the channel here, but you know Sting, the musician I saw him in the summer of 2022 and a very awesome single act opened up for him very laid-back kind of chill act that opened for him, and I know that you will be an incredible opening act for Sting. Don’t dismiss what I say because I believe that would be such an awesome opportunity because there’s nobody that comes to Bangor Maine waterfront with a hand pan.
The most effective learning tools I have come across on the handpan made it so much more understandable the way you have set it up, it’s fun ,steps to practice flow ,it’s just a beautiful approach …nice and easy …you make it user friendly one could say thank you thank you
Thank very much for support :D kisses and hugs from the brazilian friend ❤
Thank you so much for your great work!
You break the exercises down so beautifully in terms of speed and simplicity that even beginners can understand how it works and how to practice it.
So valuable!
Wishing you all the best!
Thanks so much for this lovely feedback ☺️ I'm glad you are enjoying the video
Hi Amy, I'm fairly old and musically inept but I do love the sound of these things. After watching your vid I took the plunge and bought a tongue pan (it was what I could afford). I'm now looking forward to it's arrival and annoying everyone in earshot.
Your words ring true for me. I will be following right behind you as well . I’m looking now for a pan .
Enjoy !
Amazing! I hope you enjoy it
I like this intuitive way of making music so much! Thank you!
Wow..... Great class.... I'll be following your classes in the future !!!! I'm becoming a better player because of classes like this !!!!
I have never had the pleasure in understanding to its full potential, an amazing inspirational instrument. Thank you. Kind regards Ale
You’re an absolutely wonderful teacher! Thank you!!! 💜
Wow, Amy, after trying to buy a handpan for many years have just managed it! Starting your tutorials and fingerscalready want to fly. Christopher
Wahooooo!!
Hi Amy,
Just want to say thank you for the great videos for this amazing instrument.
I know that next year in July you will be at the in Austria as a handpan teacher.
Really looking forward to meeting you there in person and having lessons with you. 😊
Started playing handpan almost 2 years ago, although I never played an instrument before.
Playing is helping me to get over the loss of my brother who passed away recently.... 😢
Kind regards,
Timo
I did not know that I was doing this technique all along by myself. And Amy you confirmed this for me. So awesome. So simple. No need for joining class that teaches set notes written for one to ‘get’ the hand of it. I think your style will rhyme with those who want to approach playing the Handpan calmly, intuitively, and with a little sound sense as you have shown us. I’m a Subscriber to your channel and will certainly like to listen to your beautiful but simple playing style. I completely connect with you because it feels the best way to playing the Handpan.🥰
You're an amazing teacher. Very likeable, clear, fun & knowledgable. THANK YOUUUUUUuuuu
Amy, I love your style of teaching. I'm doing David Charriers master the Handpan course which I enjoy but I myself yearning for prettier rhythms to learn... and in you I've found them. x
Awesome, thanks Toni. I've found MTH to be really useful for learning the skills needed to find more creativity. I took David's essentials course a few years back, and of course it can only take you so far.
I'm glad my videos are a good companion! ☺️
Amy I just love your videos and everything you are doing for us beginners :)
One of the best tutorials what i have found on UA-cam! 👍
Thanks and Regards from Deutschland
Wow, this was the most helpful lesson I've seen so far about this subject. Thank you!

You taught me, for what I was looking for, amazing, thank you so much 😊🦅 I always wondered how to get the beat and the percussion into the song. After teaching myself with pattern tutorials and exploring around them, I now have the knowhow to level 🆙

Wow Amy ! That's really a great tutorial. It's not too complicated to play for having a gorgeous result very quickly. Thanks for this lesson.
Finally, I am able to produce something that doesn't sound so disappointing. Thank you so much, I was slowly starting to think about giving up.

非常喜歡妳的影片 有趣又直覺的學習方式 而且正巧在我想知道如何把左右手分開演奏時 這影片出現在我面前 最美好的方式 來自台灣的祝福 :D
Really like your video so interesting and instinct way to learn and this video show in front of me while I just wondering how could I play with my both hand separately The best way from Universe Best wishes from Taiwan :D
Just stumbled upon this, and I'm grateful I did. I've been listening to handpan music while I do my computer work and hoping maybe someday I could get one. That may not happen, but seeing you explain this provides me with an opportunity to listen to the music more deeply and appreciate what I am hearing with more detail.
Thank you!

Unbelievable!! I've started producing some simple yet harmonious melodies thanks to you!! I bought a small panda drum a few months ago but I could just produce some funny sounds. When I came across your video I thought, I'd give it a last try. And here I am playing... right from the first attempt! Oh, Amy, thank you so much!! You're amazing!! Thank you! Thank you!! 🌹
