The tenors have a simple melody and serve in more of an accompanimental role, which allows the other voices to shine. Letter C is a bass section solo built around an arpeggio. I would recommend starting this section early in the learning process to allow the bass pan players to feel comfortable with movements. The piece ends with a fadeout at the letter E. I recommend keeping students still as the sound fades out to nothing. The drumset player uses a onedrop reggae beat on the ride cymbal during letters B and D.

Each of the 12 keys has a half note, quarter note, and eighth note exercise with a rehearsal mark above each to easily start and stop to fit the needs of your band. Generally, these scales have been written to utilize the lower range of the pans. When an octave shift is required of more than one voice of the band they have been written to shift at the same time to simplify the rehearsal and explanations. Of course the octaves can be swapped as needed to accommodate your band and the needs of your rehearsal. These can be utilized as a daily warmup, a tool to prep for the key center(s) of a song, a building block for improvisation, a theory study, a playing test, and much more.

The last half of Letter A is used as an ending at Letter G. The drum set uses a standard soca groove at Letter B and then switches to a power soca using the floor tom at Letter C.

The snowfall inspired me to write a chart where the steel pans sang like a choir. The focus of the smooth legato rolls on the pans recreates the image of snow falling on the ground. I recommend starting to learn letter G first. Each steel pan plays a descending F major scale, starting with the tenors and ending with the bass pans. This same scale can be used in the open solo section in letter D. An accompaniment part was written for double seconds, triple guitars, and basses, but these voices can take a solo as well. The director can choose to keep the pulse steady at 80 bpm or allow the piece to flow in and out of that tempo.

Much of the piece is unison and/or rhythmic unison. The melodies are simple, but the rock beat makes it fun to play. The drummer and percussion players have an easy but important part. Although it cad be used in a performance, I think of Strollin’ In G Minor as a practice piece to introduce beginners to counting through rests, navigating rehearsal letters, measure numbers and repeat signs.

The double seconds and triple guitars have a consistent strumming pattern throughout the entire piece. The whole steel band can work on these rhythms together. The drum set uses a standard soca rhythm at Letter B and a reverse soca rhythm at Letter C. There are sixteenth notebased rhythms in the tenor line at Letter C. The pattern is repetitive and can be learned very quickly through rhythm exercises. Letter A and Letter F use the same phrases. I would recommend working on these parts together in rehearsal.

We are based in Nashville, TN, so it was appropriate that the style would be country. Letter C is a feature for the triple guitars and bass pans based on a descending arpeggio. Letter A features a harmony created by each steel pan starting on a different part of the descending G major scale. At letter E, be sure to focus on the cascading effect created by the rolls and descending scales.

The double seconds and triple guitars have a consistent strumming pattern throughout the entire piece. The whole steel band can work on these rhythms together. The drum set uses a standard soca rhythm at Letter B and a reverse soca rhythm at Letter C. There are sixteenth notebased rhythms in the tenor line at Letter C. The pattern is repetitive and can be learned very quickly through rhythm exercises. Letter A and Letter F use the same phrases. I would recommend working on these parts together in rehearsal.
