One-on-one Sessions
LEARN TO PLAY HANDPAN IN IBIZABook a one-on-one Session with Flavio and get to play high quality Handpans and discover a world of joy and expression.My teaching process begins with a deep, introspective exploration of the student's relationship with the handpan. This foundational approach involves understanding what the instrument represents to the student, how it supports their life, and how it allows them to express and connect with themselves and the world.You can bring your own Instrument or play on a diverse selection of different Handpans that I have.Classe are in english, spanish or german.
BOOK CLASS
"In my experience, lessons with Flavio are a pleasant mix of being focused on a topic and having fun.
He knows when to intervene, give advice or a specific exercise so we can progress personally.
He can frame the group as well and bring it further.
Nevertheless, humour is an important part of his style so we always have a good laugh! And sometimes he just becomes silent and listens, takes a step back, feels the music and goes with the flow.He is really passionate about the handpan and it shows!" Damien Vielle

Weekly handpan circle IBIZA
-REGISTRATION NECESSARY-
Be part of the weekly Handpan Workshop, playing in a group where we dive into sound explorations, listening to each other and play unforgettable Jams.These Evenings are very special to me as we share an intimate space.
The core of it is the gift of listening, learning to become one in a group and shine as a whole.
In my opinion, learning to listen is a huge tool as a musician and, therefore, a must if you are looking for growth as a musician and human.This Class is open for everyone after joining at least one "one on one" class with me.
BOOK CLASS

Flavio has the capability to create a space where you meet each other on a profound level.
Where everyone, regardless of their skills and experiences in playing the Handpan, is welcome and can be part of the unique group energy that is created.For me it is often an experience beyond time and space, and I feel pure bliss and gratitude for being alive." Lisa Schneeberger

BOOK COACHING
Flavio's knowledge was the first teaching I received on the handpan - and I'm certainly glad our paths crossed. He has a passion and dedication for the art that surpassed many of my professor's in formal music education at university.He was able to teach me the fundamentals and also cater to my prior musical knowledge by giving me more advanced material.

If you hesitate, I hope that my sincere words have convinced you to join their tribe at the retreats.Oh yes I forgot, all this beautiful program, is served on a bed of humor and good vibes: Laughter guaranteed!" Lydia Dejugnac
Looking for a Handpan?
If you are looking for a good Instrument, I can help with some guidance.
It is important to be aware that these Instruments take a lot of dedication and hard work to build.
Today, there is a vast number of Handpan builders all around the globe and, of course, there are differences in price and quality.In my opinion, it is not worth it to get a „cheap“ Handpan, so I would like to say here that a investment of at least 1500 euro is necessary.Also good to know is that usually secondhand Handpans are not really cheaper because this instrument doesnt lose value in time as long as it is a good quality Handpan.
Actually they do sound even better in time, opening up like a good wine.Where do i buy a good Handpan?As a beginner it can feel overwelming to choose a scale, material and maker cause there is quite some options.There is different qualitys for different prices.
As i allready mentioned i do not recomend to buy a Handpan much below 1500 euros.
Stay away from ebay and plattforms like this cause there is quite some scams around with Handpans.
I would allways recomend to buy straight from a Handpan Maker.The Range of price varies between 1500-6000 euros depending on the quality and ammount of notes.
How do i know what scale i want?This is a tricky question and in the end its really up to you.
In my opinion there is no wrong scale for a beginner but for sure some are a bit more challening to access but this again depends a lot on what you want to do and how much you wanna be involved in the learning process.If you wanna go for easely accesible Harmonys i would probably go for:Pygmy, Kurd, Amara.If you want some spicy Tensions and orient vibes go for:Hijazz, Harmonic Minor, Onoleo.Just to name a few options.I Recomend you to use this virtual Handpan App to play around with different scales and even create your own scale adding or removing notes:

Music
"Everyone know these uncomfortable moments that come along every now and then. Situations that we dont wanna face, we look away or blame the world for it...."Where we Grow" is about this moments. About the treasure that lays within those hardships once we allow ourself to own our own difficulties and emotions without projecting it outwards. Most of our problems are living with us because of our incapacity to sit with hardship and difficult emotions / thoughts.May this song be a prayer for you to sit even just a moment without any distraction to feel what is bubbling within.
"
"Merging the worlds of Handpan and Voice in a Journey to inner landscapes. "Fly within" is a Ceremony to the divine that we all inhabit. a Call to spread your wing and Fly within."

"Since the beginning i was fascinated by the effect Flavio's music had on me.
When he was playing the Handpan I was taken on an exciting and magical journey.
A journey to myself, to my inner self, where I encountered emotions, feelings and dreams that I had repressed for years or that I didn't even know that they exist.A new world opened up for me and since then I feel more connected to myself, to my inner world."
