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.
"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

Handpan workshops in 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 and it really doesnt matter how much or how little experience you have with music.In these evenings we play same scale Handpans build by Yishama.
If you have a Handpan in F minor you are welcome to bring it otherwise i will provide a Instrument for you.
"When i started to play the handpan, i really was unable to listen, was unaware of sound and space.
Unaware about the responsibility who comes with touching a tonefield.
Flavio opened my heart and mind and i started to really listen and understand the infinite opportunities, that the Handpan can bring to me.An amazing adventure, i totally recommend it to anyone who is willing to go deeper with the instrument and deeper in power of creating." Yannick Schmied
"Im a deeply touched by the weekly Handpan Workshops.
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

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.
"All around great human to connect with for many reasons."Benjamin Reason
Handpan Retreats in ibiza
Explore the world of Handpan during a weekend facilitated by Flavio Salvaje and Amado Gandema.Planting the seed..Discover a way to express yourself freely with your Instrument.These retreats are all about improving your skills and deepening your connection with the Handpan. We will give you some tools to increase your own creativity and freedom for you to be able to constantly create new music.We will be focused on playing structure. Giving awareness to each note, each stroke. To help you make every movement on your Instrument meaningful.
This retreats are dedicated to the people who already own a handpan and want to explore it further. For those who want to break through their own barrier and who no longer want to feel stuck again in their own playing style.To achieve this goal, we, Flavio and Amado, will show you different rhythms, dexterity exercises, odd time signatures, dynamics, and more, to reach and raise your own creativity.We will also organize jams during the evening , to give everyone a chance to jam with the other participants. We will provide the right Instruments and guide the group to make the jams simple and intuitive.
We believe that opening up to others through a jam is one of the best ways to develop our musical creativity. Through the technical, rhythmic and melodic exchange that we are not used to do alone. And it is also an open door to self-criticism, a mirror effect that invites us to go back to the root of the essence of the music.At the moment, there are no retreats planned but write me a mail to be on the list for the next one!
"An experience, an immersion, a journey... Of the human, of the heart, of the rigor... Listening, emotion and magnificent silences, more musical than a symphony...I felt guided, with firmness, but also with a lot of gentleness, and especially a lot of love towards this magnificent instrument.
Flavio and Amado are two very complementary teachers who form an ideal duo.
To guide you, towards what you don't even imagine yet.
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."
"Discover the magic of handpan and guitar in a captivating song that celebrates the beauty of friendship in Andalusia. Let the melodies transport you to a world where music unites souls and creates unforgettable moments "

"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."
