A FIVE-WEEK HANDPAN EXPERIENCE · TORONTO
Less thinking.
More flow.
You don't need a hundred new techniques to make music that feels like you. Start with a simple pattern. Find your rhythm. See where it takes you.
Guided playing. Creative exploration. Good company.
Rooted in rhythm. Free to flow.
Come for the main class, or arrive early for the optional Writer's Room. Both welcome curious players at different stages of their journey.
The Writer's Room
Bring a musical idea. Leave with somewhere to take it.
We listen to a student's work in progress and try ways to shape its story, feeling, and movement. A short phrase is plenty to start with.
- •Explore repetition, contrast, melody, rhythm, and harmony.
- •Hear how different choices change the same idea.
- •Build your ear and compositional awareness together.
Find Your Flow
Get comfortable making music in the moment.
Warm up together, play simple musical games, and explore one weekly theme through guided patterns and group jams.
- •Practise continuity with a simple musical anchor.
- •Explore expression without adding lots of complexity.
- •Share weekly practice discoveries without a recital.
Playing together is where the magic happens.
From first-time strikers to returning players finding their groove — warm spaces, shared laughter, and zero pressure.

Real reflections from students who found their rhythm at Rhythm & Flow.
Justin's classes are very welcoming for any level - whether you have some experience or none. The flow of the classes offers opportunity to explore and gain confidence in playing the handpan with no pressure at all. You'll definitely learn a lot of different techniques and ways to keep you moving on your personal journey with this beautiful instrument. He's also created an app to help with practicing and for reference. Really handy to take you step-by-step through the lessons. Justin himself is very encouraging. I'm absolutely amazed at how much knowledge and learning is offered each week. His lessons also inspire me to practice everyday -- the songs are so beautiful and happy!

No polished performance required. Just curiosity, a little practice, and a willingness to keep playing.

Give it room to breathe
Explore repetition, space, and touch.
Change one thing
