Explore the potential of a Steel Drum Band in your school or community. This course will give the participants an overview of this new and exciting art form. Students will be given the history of 'pan' (steel drums) including its pedagogical development. The participants will learn the basic techniques of playing the pan on state-of-the-art instruments. Music that will be addressed will include Calypso, Soca, Cha Cha, Samba, along with other styles from Classics to Jazz. Proper care and maintenance, how to obtain pan music, acquisition of instruments, and the pan in music education and community based programs will also be discussed.

At the conclusion of the course, participants will have a working knowledge of what it takes to develop a steel band program in their school and community. Faculity John Marc Svaline & Tim Peterman This is the 14th year for this workshop at Villanova University
