From Steel Pans to HS Diploma

Funded Nov 8, 2016

Truly, thank you again. Having the 2 steel pans has served as a tremendous motivation and given validity to our music class. A few students seemed intimidated at first. Now there is no hesitancy in wanting to play those beautiful pans. If only you could see the intensity and smiles in which students approach and play them. Currently, we are learning 4 songs: Marianne, Three Little Birds, and Don't Worry, Be Happy.

This is only the beginning. We will continue toward building a steel pan program so our students can make and perform the music that they want to play. As we move toward this reality, I know without a doubt, students will not want to miss rehearsing and making music. Therefore, they will be in school everyday! And that is the first step toward achieving their HS diploma! With your help, we are steps closer to making this dream a reality.

Thank you.”
