Nice post, Stephanie. I love Steel Bands and the pans are so much fun to play! Pans can be such a great beginner instrument, especially for those that do not read music. I've known many beginners who's first instrument was pans and they fared well as long as they had a decent sense of rhythm before starting. However, this video may be a bit terrifying for younger students who have never played before! It would definitely be a good idea to point out that these performers have probably grown up around this music and have more than likely been playing for a while.
