Join the best steel pan performance group on the Peninsula!
Step into the vibrant world of Mosaic Academy, where the rhythm of friendship and the melody of creativity come together in perfect harmony. Mosaic Academy meets every Monday from 6-7:30 p.m. at Downing-Gross Cultural Arts Center.
This program is designed for young people who have a love for music and a desire to learn. Participants will explore the history and cultural significance of the steelpan while developing a strong foundation in musical concepts such as harmony, melody, rhythm, scales, texture, and movement.
In addition to musical training, the program emphasizes the development of personal and social skills. Students will build focus, strengthen teamwork abilities, and learn non-verbal communication within the supportive environment of a voluntary group activity. Mosaic Academy is 100% free for youth participants.
