This is a great resource for anyone who is looking to start or continue arranging for steelband. I provides some foundational knowledge in a quick and simple format. I hope this serves you well and empowers more people to start their arranging/composition journey!

There are very few etudes and exercises available out there for pannists. This typically leaves it up to the individual or a teacher to find, create, or source material to work on when it comes to things like technique, musical concepts, musicality, tone production, stickings, etc. I hope this book helps to fill that gap for pannists who are looking to develop their abilities. This book is a time-saving/progress-fueling resource for tenor pannists, pan teachers, and steelband directors. Save yourself the headache by adding this book to your collection. No more searching for appropriate music written for pan, writing to fit your needs, and repurposing music for other instruments.

Each exercise and etude is written with a key concept in mind. 

Concepts Covered:

• Evening Out The Octaves

• Connecting Rolls

• Figuring Out Stickings

• Inside & Outside Note Hand Positioning

• Cross Pan Strokes

• Developing Speed

• Melody & Accompaniment

• Dynamic Control

• Double Stops

• Accents

Each concept has 10 corresponding exercises/etudes. This book can serve as a resource for individuals hoping to make progress, teachers looking for new material to use for lessons, and much more.

A Note about Stickings - This book contains some suggested stickings to guide the player. The Low C (Inline C) Fourths & Fifths Tenor Pan is the layout in mind for those stickings. Low D Tenors or Invader Style Lead Pans will likely need to disregard these suggestions. The exercises and etudes will still work for these pans, with a few octave substitutions, but the stickings will not.
