This is another site that not only has free sheet music but information about making the steel pans, history of the pan, how to play and many other educational features. Once again students can access these resources for free as well.

Educationdgree.com is a beneficial website for me to share with my students. My program is unique in the sense that we not only teach our students the art of playing the steel drum but we work on molding them in to well-rounded citizens as well.

This site has the possibility of helping students come to these workshops with a few choices of colleges and universities in mind.

If parents are enlightened with this information they may have more of an understanding and appreciation for the amount of practice time spent in the pan yard.
