This three-book series provides a solid foundation in steel pan technique and a logical progression of challenges for developing the ability to read music. Designed for the Jumbie Jam, teaching basic to intermediate music-playing skills and theory, while introducing the JJ in the same way a new music student would learn any other instrument. Can be used for other instruments too.
The songs are popular melodies that are learned on many other instruments but have been specifically arranged for the JJ. The student learns to play songs while also learning to read traditional music notation. Also includes two original compositions in each book that focus on specific musical and technical elements.
Free Downloadable accompaniment audio files include two tracks per song (with Steel Drum & without Steel Drum). Can also be used for performances.
Series of three Method Books sold separately or as a Series Set of Three. Fantastic for K-8 General Music Classrooms, Music Academies, Community Arts & Music Programs, Private & Group Lessons.
