My Journey with Steelpan
I studied tenor steelpan and performed as the lead (tenor) pan player with the Oakland University Pan Jumbies. Through this experience, I learned to play not only the tenor pan, but also the other instruments in the steelband, developing an understanding of their different patterns and roles within the ensemble
My experience includes playing melodies, grooves, Latin rhythms, and a wide variety of tunes, as well as performing across different parts of the steelband. Learning the different pans gave me a deeper understanding of rhythm, ensemble playing, and the relationship between individual parts and the larger musical experience.
Steelpan has also become an important part of how I understand rhythm and jazz, while offering something uniquely engaging for audiences. It is an instrument that invites people to listen, move, dance, and experience music in a different way.
