HANDPAN INITIATIONS

Have you ever wanted to discover the magical sound of handpan, and play it by yourself ?

I give handpan initiations in Lyon (and sometimes elsewhere), in which you’ll be able to try many different handpans from famous makers, discover this instrument’s story and building processes, leanr how to touch and play it and create your first melodies with me.

HANDPAN LESSONS

Want to improve your playing and get tips to stop being stuck in your patterns ?

I also provides regular Handpan lessons in Lyon ! Lessons are individual and adapted to each student to fit to his/her needs and wishes. Most lessons tends to focus on composition/improvisation but also includes musical theory, rythm, melody, tips & tricks, jaming improvements and more ! Everything can be done, but I like to see music as a mean of expression, and to comfort my students in composing and improvising by themselves.

I carrefully listen to every student needs and wishes to provide entirely personal and effective lessons.

You can book lessons directly from the shop, or simply use the “contact” form to discuss it with me.

Workshops and group immersion

One or several immersion day(s) into the handpan universe, with lessons, jams and lots of available instruments you can borrow or even buy there, to discover, try out or improve yourself.

A unique opportunity to enjoy group play and live a special experience !

Tom Vaylo embodies the fusion of handpan (Hang) with magnetic electronic beats in a unique trip/hop, dub and world musical trip.

Creative traveler and sound crafter, he had the opportunity throughout his 3 albums to collaborate with many musicians and performers (flute, trumpet, saxophone, dance,…) ;
and to present live with them his project all around Europe (France, Belgium, UK,Hungary).
Hungary).

Musician since his very young age (flute, guitar, saxophone,…) and french handpan pioneer, Tom Vaylo has settled since 2007 his place
in the handpan players community. Not only did he played in the most famous handpan festivals (Handpan Festival, HangOut UK, HUG festival,…),
he also shared music and handpan playing lessons in the “Learn from the Best” serie on MasterTheHandpan, as well as in his own
association in Lyon and in several international workshops (Handpan Academy, le RDV du Hang, …).

By adding electronic music to this magical instrument, Tom Vaylo expands his playground and create an innovative musical journey.
He explores various universes and create his own music style rules, to provides a powerful psychedelic live show, sometimes compared to Massive Attack, Bonobo or Shpongle.
His music depicts an utopic world without barriers, ruled by emotion, empowered by boldness and diversity.
Wandering in Tom Vaylo’s carefully crafted universes feels warm and comforting, as the subtle instrument mix burst with feelings and colors. You may alternatively feel like dreaming, chilling and dancing, but it always feels fresh and new.
