Sharon's Steel Drum Workshop:
is a dynamic demonstration by Sharon herself, about the construction
of the steel drum instruments! Sharon's workshops are designed
especially for Kindergarten through 12th grade students.
The workshops goes over some of the history related to the steel pan, and covers
the
techniques
use to hand craft a
55 gallon oil barrel
into a beautiful
steel drum instrument.
To take part and
experience
Sharon's Steel Drum Workshop, will leave
each student with a sense of
pride.
The workshop will leave them
with the awareness of paying attention to the
different sounds that surround them on a daily basis. Sharon also
encourages students to make their own instruments at home using soup cans,
coffee cans, or tuna cans. Students will receive a certificate showing
they
attended
Sharon's Steel Drum Workshop at the end of class!
The Ideal Situation
: Is to
keep
each class
under 25 students at a time. This insures that each
student gets to have a chance to try something
exciting
that Sharon
has brought with her to the class.
What to expect from Sharon's Steel Drum Workshops
:
Sharon would come to your school and set up all of her
equipment
in the
music room and would be working closely with your school's music teacher
throughout the day.
Sharon charges by the day, with it usually taking 2 days, sometimes
3 days, depending on the numbers of students attending your
school.
The Perfect All Around Steel Drum
Experience,
for the student body, teachers, and staff! Is to have Rhythmical
Steel, "The Steel Drum Family," return at a later date
to perform at a school assembly! This is an awesome way to fulfill
the steel drum experience! This is always a huge hit with everyone,
including the family steel band, Rhythmical Steel!
