Following our learning about the West Indies Carnival, we thoroughly enjoyed a visit from ArtForms to learn how to play the steel drums.
“They were amazing and really fun. We learned how to play different notes and I enjoyed playing it all at once.” (Jacob)
“I learned that if you bang them really hard they might go out of tune.” (Elara)
“Me and my partner showed other people how to take it in turns to play the song together.” (Alba)
“The carnivals sometimes have steel drums. I went to watch them with my Mum and they had special bats to bat them with. When they were playing the drums it sounded like we did. They had some of the same drums that we had. It was really fun!” (Emily)
“I was amazing doing it my first time. It felt like I was in an actual band!” (Vinnie)
