PETER LEVITOV - Gainsville, FL

In 2008, I had an experience that changed my life forever. As I heard the sound of the handpan for the first time, something inside of me shifted. I couldn't quite grasp how, but I knew that everything I wanted to experience and understand was inside that sound. Over a decade later, the handpan remains a constant source of inspiration and guidance, reminding me to breathe, listen, and feel deeply.

I believe this art form offers an incredible gift to the world. It has the power to bring us together in creative community, where we learn, grow, and make beautiful music together. It's in these moments of connection and collaboration that I find the most joy and meaning in life.

My main focus as a teacher is to help my students strive towards mastery through a deep study of movement, rhythm, and feeling. I have found that if we want to fully receive all this instrument offers, we must slow down and come to love this process of discovery, exploration, and wonder.

I feel so lucky to share my love of the handpan, to hold space for exploration and growth, and to help others find their own path with this incredible instrument.
