Vista Steel Pan Instruments by Sharlene Luke

This blog post is presenting my radio commercial for steelpans. One of my favorite musical isntruments to play is the Steelpan. It is one of the most recongizable instruments in the Carribean. My mother taught me how to play this isntrument at a very young age. Around seven years ago, I started covering songs on my personal Steelpan that I liked to listen to, and ever since then I try to cover as many songs on my free time. Personally, this instrument brings me closer to my Carribean cutlure, since most of my relaitves live in the Carribean on two small islands called Trinidad and Tobago. I was trully blessed to learn this instrument at such a young age, and continue to do so as the years go by. 

Below, you can click on the link for my Vista Steel Pan Instruments Radio Commercial, and also see some pictures of the instrument, as well as musicians playing the pan.

I interviewed three faculty members of SC State: Dr. Learie Luke, Mrs. Debra Darby, and Dr. Matthew Guah.
