CultureMix Centre for Steel Pan Music

Welcome to the CultureMix Centre for Steel Pan Music. We have the full range of steel pan instruments, drums and percussion instruments from around the world. Our workshops are led by experienced tutors who are also professional musicians.

Children and adults can learn to play steel pan music and develop musical skills by attending weekly workshops on Tuesdays from 5pm. Concessions are available for siblings and family groups. We also offer bursaries for talented youngsters and low income families.

With dedication and regular attendance new participants can become good players and may be invited to join the orchestra for showcase performances.

• Beginner - this is where you start by learning the basics
• Junior - now you move on to learn the repertoire
• Orchestra - join rehearsals to develop and showcase your musical skills
• Ensemble - as a competent player you become a RASPO ambassador playing at functions and events

Beginner sessions are useful for music teachers who can learn typical calypso rhythms enabling them to support their school steel band for performances and extra rehearsals.

Alternatively you may want your group to attend their own one off or regular 60 - 90 minute weekly workshop with instruments and tutors provided. Group size should be at least 8 people, maximum 20.

Have a go at a free taster workshop when you register for beginners workshops. Contact us for more information.
