40 Intermediate Steel Drum Ensemble - Intermediate Steel Drum Ensemble is designed to introduce non-music major CSU students to traditional hand crafted steel drums from the islands of Trinidad and Tobago. This ensemble will focus on beginner to intermediate performance techniques, musical cohesiveness, and interpretation through traditional and contemporary steel drum literature. Musical styles such as calypso, afro-cuban, soca, and others will be explored in this course, as well as the history of steel drums. Weekly rehearsals will culminate in public performance(s), on or off campus, during the semester. Students will be notified of concert dates at the first ensemble rehearsal via the course syllabus.
