Cardinal Calypso--Steelpan Ensemble

Music H&S - Humanities & Sciences

Course Description

This course introduces students to steelpan as an instrument and as a culture. Over the course of the year, students will gain fundamental knowledge of the pitched percussion instrument, gain insight into the culture of Trinidad and Tobago which gave rise to the steelpan, and have the opportunity to expand and share that knowledge through rehearsals, lecture topics/discussion, performances, and events with guest artists. While focusing on soca and calypso music genres, we will also explore a diverse range of other musical styles. Please note that this course is exclusively open to ensemble members.
