Steel Band Director Jeff Martin goes over sheet music with one of his students during the steel drum ensemble clinicFrankfort, Kentucky, USA - For the past week the unmistakeable sound of steel drum music has been emanating from the Yes Arts Center at City Hall as a group of kids and a few adults have taken part in Steel Drum Ensemble Clinic being offered through Just Say Yes.
....The clinic was taught by Jeff Martin, director of the nationally-acclaimed Clark Montessori Steel Band in Cincinnati. Martin, who brought more than a dozen drums on loan from his school, said that his goals for the class extend past simply learning how to play music.
....How the program originated and how it was able to get a steelpan instructor of Martin's caliber to Frankfort, is due in huge part to Amelia Berry, the Just Say Yes project director.

Black and white mullatoes like to play the pan. After that they can eat pancake together. It is just great to see what progress is made. I wonder when the first scammer will say the pan was invented in Nigeria?
