Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need my own handpan to participate?
No, all instruments will be provided for the workshop. If you bring your own D Kurd handpan with 9 or 10 notes, you’ll receive a €10 discount. - Do I need any previous musical experience or experience with instruments?
No, you don’t need any previous experience. During the workshop, you’ll learn everything you need to start playing your first melodies on the handpan. - Can I integrate what I learn into sound meditations afterwards?
Absolutely! The handpan can be a beautiful addition to sound meditations – but like any instrument, it takes some practice and familiarity. During the workshop, you’ll get a solid introduction to the instrument, learn how to play intuitive melodies, and develop a first understanding of rhythm and flow. This will give you a strong foundation to continue practicing independently and gradually integrate the handpan naturally into your sound journeys and meditations.

About
Robert
Berlin-based handpan player Rob Ginero (Robert Hörning) discovered his passion for the handpan in 2017, after having played the piano for many years. Three years later, he began sharing his knowledge through workshops and private lessons.
Since 2022, he has been leading the Berlin Handpan Community, organizing regular monthly gatherings together with Pantopia e.V. In 2023, he also founded the Pangonia Handpan Festival, which has since become an annual event. During the summer months, Rob performs almost every weekend at various handpan and yoga festivals. In winter, he enchants guests at Vabali and UHU with his music and regularly offers handpan workshops for beginners and advanced players.
As a handpan teacher, Rob places great importance on clearly structured workshops while meeting each participant at their individual pace. With his calm and approachable teaching style, he guides participants through the fundamentals step by step, while also creating space for intuitive playing and personal musical expression.
In this way, he combines his love for the handpan with his passion for music, community, and creativity.
