Ray Holman’s iconic song Pan on the Move lends its title to a programme of workshops by the composer himself in schools in Trinidad.
Over the next four weeks, music students will have the chance to learn from Holman’s method and style of arranging and composing.
This programme, undertaken by Canboulay Productions with approval of the Ministry of Education, is intended to help students and teachers meet the requirements of CSEC and CAPE music syllabuses, a media release said.
Pan on the Move is the first stage of Canboulay’s celebration of the pioneer steelband composer. This celebration ends in April 2024 with the world premiere of a steelband musical, Pantopia: the Music of Ray Holman, at HADCO Phase II steelband's panyard, Woodbrook, Port of Spain.
Interested schools can contact the host schools in their districts.
Workshops will be hosted at the following schools:
Naparima Girls' College – October 26
Bishop's/Trinity College – October 31
Waterloo Secondary – November 10
Mucurapo West Secondary – November 17
