The Steel Workshop

The Steel Workshop My name is Tish, and I want to share the fun and excitement by educating the younger generation with the magical sounds of the steelpan orchestra.

This instrument is the national instrument of Trinidad & Tobago, and is played around the world as part of steel band orchestras, as well as a single instrument within all types of band genres. New Zealand is one of the youngest countries to engage with the pan, and I want to bring it to schools and use this instrument to create something wonderful and fun! The Steel Pan is a great tool at working

both sides of the brain at once. It teaches co-ordination. It teaches the importance of working together as a team. It also creates happiness and joy when performing, while also captivating audiences around you!
