Ethical Music Corporation offers small groups of participants the opportunity to learn and play various steel drum instruments uniquely crafted by artist Kiskadee's late father, Michael Contant, who was one of the founding developers and pionneers of this 20th-century instrument from the island of Trinidad.
Participants learn to play a song together, harmoniously and as a group. Because of the nature of the workshops and of the instruments, participants experience a rapid sense of progress and motivating results.
Each group session typically runs for one hour and participants learn to play a simple song on one or two different steel drums. They may also learn to teach each other their particular steel drum instrument, demonstrating both learning and teaching skills as a team.
These workshops often stimulate learning in other areas as well as creativity and problem-solving skills.
