The GROOVESIGNS® HANDPAN METHOD by Chris Partsch
Amazingly easy & guaranteed without notes
The GROOVESIGNS® method is a “language” with only 5 characters but thousands of possibilities. GROOVESIGNS® are an addition or an introduction to “normal” notation. There are three symbols: ∆ ⨆ I as rhythm building blocks. There is always a constant break after each symbol. With the GROOVESIGNS® handpan method, ∆ ⨆ I are played on the shoulder (= flat area next to the central pitch on the top) of the handpan. There is also a symbol: ◯ for the center (=thing), which is played exactly there on the lowest note. The ▢ symbol stands for a tone field (= note). A number indicates which pitch is being played.
