Join us for Echoes of the Caribbean: A Steelpan Class Series, a four-part, beginner-friendly workshop series exploring the rich musical traditions of the Caribbean through steelpan, cultural storytelling, and hands-on learning.
Each session spotlights a different Caribbean musical genre, from the vibrant energy of Trinidad’s Soca to the soulful grooves of Jamaican Reggae, the infectious rhythms of Cuban Salsa, and the melodic sounds of Zouk from Martinique and Guadeloupe.
Designed as stand-alone experiences, participants are welcome to attend a single class or join the full series to experience the diversity of Caribbean music.
No musical experience is required – just curiosity and a willingness to learn.
Each class includes:
An introduction to the featured genre and its cultural significance
Beginner friendly steelpan technique and rhythm exercises
Guided instruction on a featured song
A collaborative group performance to celebrate what you have learned
Steelpan and sticks
Classes will be held on Wednesdays at 6:30pm starting on August 5th, 2026. Book your spot today
