Frontline pannist for Nutrien Silver Stars Steel Orchestra Simone Emmanuel said her love of steelpan began in pre-school and has led her to a degree in music, and musical therapy as a career. Emmanuel was introduced to pan at pre-school at the YMCA, where it was taught to every student.
“When I got to secondary school, I wanted to join the school band to do Panorama, but my mom isn’t really a pan person, so I couldn’t go.
