The Huntington Arts Council Inc. presents its annual Cultural Arts Workshops for Teachers 2012.
Musician Rudyard Crichlow from Casplash Band will talk about the Steelpan Drum – and its evolution from an instrument once associated with rebellion to today’s world class instrument. Participants will learn the story behind the development of the steel pan and its link with the history of Trinidad and Tobago. The process of creating a steel pan and the instruments from which it has evolved will also be explored and attendees will have the chance to try many steel pans and play other drums and auxiliary percussion instruments.
The workshops are free to teachers in Journey school district partners: Commack, Harborfields, Huntington, North Babylon, Northport/East Northport, Plainview/Old Bethpage and South Huntington school districts.
