About Handpan Chordbook

Find out more about Handpan ChordBook and Rosie Bergonzi

Handpan Chordbook is a free resource created by Rosie Bergonzi to help people play covers on their instruments. It’s powered by PanScript™ a notation system designed to remove numbers and just show you where to put your hands! You can play as many or as few pitches as you want to make a chord, it’s totally up to you!

This website is inspired by Rosie’s online tutorials Handpan Fundamentals, and live lessons in London and at festivals around the world! Playing chords together is one of the most brilliant things! By learning familiar songs you’re actually practicing so many musical skills… so let’s go.
