"Exploring The Connection Between Handpan & The Native Flute" With Jeremy Arndt
About This Workshop:
The handpan and flute have become increasingly common companions in contemporary world music, meditation, sound journeys, and improvisational music, yet musicians from these two worlds don’t always have a shared language for playing together.
In this experiential workshop, internationally touring musician and educator Jeremy Arndt explores the musical relationship between handpan and flute and offers practical ways for flutists to confidently create alongside this unique instrument.
Participants will explore how handpan scales and tonal centers relate to the flute, how to find notes and phrases that complement a handpan’s harmonic landscape, and how rhythm, space, listening, and repetition can become powerful tools for improvisation. We’ll move beyond simply “playing over” the handpan and instead explore ways the two instruments can listen, respond, support, and create together.
Jeremy will help bridge the gap between these two growing musical communities while encouraging an intuitive, accessible approach to improvisation and musical conversation.
No handpan experience is necessary. Come ready to listen, experiment, improvise, and discover new possibilities for your flute.
Key Takeaways:
- Understand how handpan scales and tonal centers can guide your flute choices.
- Learn simple ways to create flute phrases that support, respond to, and blend with the handpan.
- Explore rhythm, space, repetition, and listening as tools for more confident improvisation.
About Our Instructor:
Jeremy has been fusing the mindfulness based practices of yoga and meditation with his music for over a decade. Since 2009, he has traveled the globe, with music as his guide, studying different musical traditions and finding a consistent thread of inspiration for his own music. His journeys have taken him to performance stages and yoga studios around the world, in 30 countries and 6 continents.
Jeremy has dove passionately into the study and exploration of many instruments, and is most known for his music with the Handpan (aka Hang, Hang Drum). He has become one of the most prolific performers on the Handpan in North America, having shared his music in over 1,000 performances in the last fifteen years and has become one of the top Handpan acts on Spotify, with over 9 million streams of his songs. His handpan music is gentle, soothing, and world-inspired, weaving a story with the sound of this captivating instrument.
In addition to the Handpan, Jeremy also plays the didgeridoo, guitar, and electronic music. He has taken part in a wide variety of music and recording projects around the globe, including his solo work as Jeremy Arndt and Heavenly3lues, as well as work with international music projects 8 Hands of Sound, based in Melbourne, Australia, and Groupe Sans Frontieres, based in Bamako, Mali.
Jeremy’s music is heavily influenced by his yoga practice, and he completed his 200 hour Yoga teacher training certification with Prairie Yoga, based in Lisle (Chicago), Illinois in 2014.
