This lesson REALLY gave me some time to catch up on my work, my presentation was nearly finished. But, I just needed to make the final touches. Add some more pictures and adjustments, spelling checks and just make the presentation look a bit more flashy and punctuated basically.
I finally understand what a Steel Pan Drum is and where it comes from, i enjoyed learning about this.
I never actually thought it would have came from Trinidad and Tobago, I am so looking forward to learning how to play this instrumental next week.
I read up on the Steel Pan group TASPO and they seemed like such an enthusiastic, great group. Another interesting fact is that when the French-Africans came over from Africa to the Caribbean during the slave trade, they had to create a new kind of drum to commence communication, they used to use 'Bam-Boos', but they had none of those over at the Caribbean, so they then created the Steel Pan and it became so popular.
After that, we were meant to update our blog but I had no time, so now I'm doing it now that I've got home.
Ihad a good lesson, overall.
Anyways im off to bed, GOOODD NIGHTT BLOGGERS : ) Xxx
