International Day of Music: Steel Pan Workshop

Discover the vibrant, rhythmic world of steel pan drumming in this interactive workshop!

We'll begin with a brief history of the steel pan, tracing its origins and exploring how these unique musical instruments are crafted. Then, get ready to be captivated as we demonstrate the diverse styles of music that can be played on the steel pans.

The real fun begins as we split into small groups and give you the chance to try playing the steel pans yourself! Under the guidance of our experienced instructors, you'll learn proper playing techniques and have the opportunity to collaborate as an ensemble. Whether you're a complete beginner or have some musical experience, you'll leave with a newfound appreciation for this joyful, community-driven art form.

No prior musical knowledge is required - just bring your enthusiasm! All equipment will be provided.
