The gates are open

From a complete beginner!

I am very new to the world of the handpan - in fact I am very new to the world of music making in general. I have always been incredibly intimidated by it all. The stories that I have been telling myself for over 40 years - "I am not musical, I cannot hold a tune, music is not for me" have been very strong. I am only a couple of months into my hand pan journey and I can already see these stories dissolving. Malte is a beautiful and calming presence, his voice and music are balm to my soul. It never feels like a chore, or something that I will only enjoy when I am actually "good" at it. I enjoy every session, I am hearing music differently. Its doing something to my body and soul. Eternally grateful .

Good lessons! Recommended!

Good lessons. I like the idea behind it: to give you enough playing material and techniques to start playing your own music. I did the Handpan Fundamentals and will follow the teacher training in a few months. A really big plus is the community. It's very supportive. And every month there's a challenge and a raffle for the people who joined the challenge. It makes you step out of your comfort zone and do and play things you normally wouldn't. That enriched me a lot!

Simply Great

I already had some experience playing the handpan when I joined MMM two and a half years ago – and I can say that the MMM concept has definitely taken me to another level! Today I can play much more freely and creatively. I understand much better how to create the framework for an improvisation (or composition). Practicing and playing is much more enjoyable and has become much more expressive. Over time, I've created more and more of my own pieces instead of just playing compositions from a tutorial. I had never learned an instrument before in my life and feel so enriched by making music, which now accompanies me every day. The welcoming and accepting atmosphere that Malte and the entire community create helps enormously in simply enjoying the learning process. A huge thank you to Malte and his team for everything! Joining MMM handpan fundamentals was the best decision I've made since I got a handpan.

Excellent customer support and a great...

Excellent customer support and a great experience I purchased the Handpan Fundamentals course and initially had a technical issue where the course didn’t appear in my account after payment. I contacted their support team, and Julie was incredibly kind and helpful throughout the whole process. Later, I also received a 20% discount code through an email survey shortly after my purchase. I asked whether it might be possible to apply it retroactively, and they kindly refunded the difference, which I really appreciated. Everything was handled warmly, professionally, and fairly. I’m very happy with both the courses and the support I received. Now it’s time to practice my handpan! 😊

From Listener to Player

About a year and a half ago, while searching for calming meditation music, I discovered Malte Marten's handpan recordings. I started listening to them every day at work, quietly in the background, and gradually became fascinated by the instrument itself. The desire to try playing a handpan kept growing until, one month ago, I finally gave myself the perfect birthday gift: a Yatao handpan together with the D Kurd Scale Course. The course has been an incredible help in getting to know my instrument. Malte has a remarkable gift for explaining everything in such a clear and accessible way. Even though I had absolutely no previous experience playing any musical instrument, after just one month I can already play around ten different rhythms reasonably well. I have also watched lessons from other handpan teachers, but for me Malte is truly exceptional—not only because of the clarity of his teaching, but also because of the calmness, kindness, and genuine warmth he brings to every lesson. Thank you so much! I'm excited to continue this beautiful journey of personal growth, with the handpan as my companion.

The right method for empathetic and intuitive players

I took a live handpan class a year ago. It helped me a lot to loosen my hands and learn different techniques, but it never really helped me understand how to approach studying the instrument. The Malte Marten method opened my eyes when it explained the three pillars on which handpan music is based: harmony, rhythm, and melody. Before, I was confused and felt lost, but now I feel like I've found my way. The class I took last year left me with a major gap: a lack of harmony and harmonic progressions. I can't wait to start studying the different patterns of the Malte Marten method. I recommend it to anyone with an intuitive and empathetic mindset. INFJ

Great community and motivating learning methodive experience...

I’ve had a really positive experience with the Malte Marten Method. What stands out the most is the community and the learning approach. The method provides clear patterns and melodies that make it much easier to get started and actually enjoy playing from the beginning. At the same time, the continuous sharing within the community — experiences, challenges, and ideas — makes a big difference. It really helps you stay motivated, maintain a regular practice, and learn from others. You can ask anything, and there’s always someone willing to share their knowledge and support you. It feels less like a course and more like being part of a supportive musical community.

I am just loving this

I am just loving this. I am physically quite isolated, and the course is helping overcome this and is guiding me as I get to know my handpan. I love how I am being encouraged to feel my way, underpinned by gentle tuition rather than a " this is how it should be done approach". I love the intuitive approach, and even though it's only been a couple of weeks, I can really feel my expression coming through. I am so grateful to have joined this. I have tried to learn other instruments before and gotten no where. I've only just started the handpan but I'm creating beautiful sound already. Long may it continue, and whilst not trying to run before walking, I will be signing up for the Foundations course at the end. Thank you so much

Malte Marten Method- superior training, support and strong community

First, the lessons are clear, well done and broken into the proper size pieces. Second, the communications from the staff on questions and upcoming material is awesome..fast, and responsive. The approach works very well for me and I have learned a lot already. The challenges are fun, the website and community are all phenomenal and well done and it is a pleasure to be sharing with people all over the world.

100%+ Satisfaction!!

Taking a coaching session with Malte was truly inspiring. His way of teaching goes beyond technique — it connects deeply with expression and feeling. He creates a warm and supportive atmosphere, and the whole community around him reflects that same spirit of excellence and connection. I’m truly grateful for everything I’ve learned from his classes and for how much his guidance has helped me grow as a player. Highly recommend 100%!
