Steelpan with Suzette - Hands-On Fun! (8-12 yrs)

Let's have fun with Suzette and play the steelpan! Learn about the different parts of a steelpan, how to hold the sticks, and play a simple song. No musical experience required.

Suzette Vidale is an innovative steelpannist and instructor. Born in Canada, with roots from St. Lucia and Trinidad, the home of the steelpan, she has incorporated the rich and vibrant cultures of Toronto into her diverse repertoire. As an ambassador of steelpan, her greatest moments are using it as a wellness tool for youth and women experiencing various challenges. Her hope is that the instrument will act as a tool to foster curiosity, creativity, and encourage people to learn more about the history of Caribbean arts and culture. She was an honouree of 100 Accomplished Black Canadian Women. Suzette will continue sharing her craft with people from all walks of life and welcomes all to join her on the journey of "educating, entertaining and inspiring".
