Frequently asked questions

What is the best software for handpan teachers?

Nova Music is a free studio management platform well-suited for handpan teachers. Track student instruments and scales with custom tags, share compositions and technique exercises through the resource library, and manage scheduling for lessons and sound circles.

Can I track each student's handpan scale?

Yes. Nova Music's custom tags let you record each student's handpan scale (Kurd, Celtic, Hijaz, etc.), maker, and note count. This is essential for assigning scale-compatible compositions and planning group sessions with harmonically compatible instruments.

How do I share compositions for specific scales?

Upload compositions, rhythm patterns, and technique exercises to the resource library. Tag materials by compatible scales so students can easily find pieces that work on their specific handpan. Video demonstrations help convey the hand technique that notation alone can't capture.
