1 credit Students will learn and play various steel pans, as well as the engine room (auxiliary percussion). We will learn around 3-4 songs, with students rotating instruments on each song. The ExCo culminates in a performance with Oberlin Steel at the end of the semester at the Cat in the Cream. There will also be an academic component of the course featuring a research project which involves listening to music, learning more about Trinidad, and the history and world of steel pan!
