Caribbean Steel Pan Sets

Caribbean Steel Pan Sets are classroom-ready bundles for Primary, Secondary, Adult and SEND. Choose 5–30-player desktop or floor-standing packs with optional Z stands and beaters; Jumbie ranges add Andy Gleadhill’s method, suit ages 5–16, Trinipans from 9–18+, and big-band options add chrome lead and double seconds – streamlining inclusive whole-class teaching, lunchtime clubs and community ensembles with quick setup.

Caribbean Steel Pan Sets cover desktop and floor-standing options for Primary, Secondary and SEND. Choose compact desktops where space is tight, or sturdier floor models with Z stands for rehearsals and performances. Packs include beaters, and Jumbie ranges add Andy Gleadhill’s method to launch ensemble work. Percussion Buddies add texture so every pupil contributes.

Group pans in semicircles for clear sightlines and balanced parts. Rotate melody, harmony and rhythm roles to build confidence and ensemble skills. Develop simple ostinatos into melodies on a single Caribbean Steel Pan, then spread parts across the group. Pair with Caribbean Steel Pans Resources for schemes, play-alongs and assessment ideas. Starter and big-band options support clubs, concerts and community groups.
