This pack of 5 Jumbie Jams comes with Andy Gleadhill's Caribbean Steel Pan Book. Using the same approach that has so successfully helped hundreds of generalist teachers to introduce African Drumming, Indonesian Gamelan, Brazilian Samba and other World Music styles in classrooms all over the UK, Andy shows you the basic techniques, warm-up exercises and covers all the elements of music whilst helping you and the class progress rapidly through 10 weekly lessons, to the point that the class can perform a range of Steel Pan pieces. A selection of video clips will soon be available on line that further support teacher and pupils by giving practical demonstrations of the techniques and pieces covered in the Guide.
The Jumbie Jam is a high quality, entry level Steel Drum Musical Instrument. It is easy for anyone to play and makes learning music fun. A blend of simple design, durability and ease of teaching/learning makes the Jumbie Jam a fantastic instrument for music education . . . and the pupils love it!
The Jumbie Jam is smaller than a full size Steel Drum and has 8 notes (which are labeled and tuned to the scale of G) as opposed to the complex 32 note and expensive full size drum. The Steel Drum is a multi-faceted instrument providing both percussive and melodic musical capabilities creating a well rounded musical experience. The students are not overwhelmed and intimidated by the Jumbie Jam ensuring an effective and immediate learning experience.
The Jumbie Jam was selected for a "Best Tools for Schools" award by NAMM (US National Association of Music Merchants) and recognised as a musical instrument that provides innovative solutions and opportunities for music learning. Also noted were the teacher guides and song books assisting the teacher to incorporate the Jumbie Jam into their existing music classroom or teaching it as a new group instrument.
