[Claude Gonzales]

"For the first time, steel­pan mu­sic is be­ing taught at a ter­tiary ed­u­ca­tion in­sti­tu­tion in Aus­trala­sia. Two Thurs­days ago, the T&T flag stood promi­nent­ly in Vic­to­ria Uni­ver­si­ty’s con­ser­va­toire as the New Zealand School of Mu­sic (NZSM) be­gan its first steel­pan class. Eng­lish-born mu­si­cian Mar­i­on Tit­muss, who fell in love with the in­stru­ment back in 1987, is lead­ing the charge to de­vel­op steel­pan cul­ture to the South Pa­cif­ic na­tion. This se­mes­ter’s course is a tri­al and if suc­cess­ful, it will be a ten-point pa­per open to any uni­ver­si­ty stu­dent."

All I could say is that PAN TRINBAGO needs some REAL GOOD ADMINISTRATIVE SKILLS to control this BREAKAWAY BOLTING HORSE that Salmon Cupid hinted at in his recent interview!!!

But with DEM BLINDERS that BEVERLEY RAMSEY-MOORE wearing (and holding the art-form back) -- RACE GONE and leave PAN TRINBAGO jumping up in ah STEELBAND in TOBAGO PANORAMA!!!

Look how far PAN REACH in School: 13,600 km ( 8,459 MILES) from THE MECCA!!!
