Google Preview: This work examines the spread of the steelpan art form within U.S. music education, specifically in schools and universities. This is set within the context of a large Caribbean diaspora, which brought the music and culture to the U.S. This is followed by an in-depth examination into the implications for steel bands and music education going forward. This research includes 'family trees' that illustrate the impact of various programs on the spread of the art form and includes information on one of the earliest U.S. school steel band programs in the concluding case study chapter. The work includes numerous resources for steel band directors and music educators interested in this topic.; Preface Introduction Chapter 1: A Brief History of Steelpan in Trinidad and Tobago Chapter 2: Early Pioneers of the American Steelpan Movement Chapter 3: Early Collegiate and K-12 Steel Bands in the U.S. Chapter 4: The Second Generation of U.S. Steel Band Programs Chapter 5: Contemporary Issues in the Development of the Steelpan Movement Chapter 6: The Desert Winds Story Chapter 7: Main Points and Thoughts for the Future Appendix A: Steel Band Resources Appendix B: Defunct U.S. School and University Steel Bands (A Partial List) Appendix C: Recordings Appendix D: Distribution of Academic Steel Bands by State Appendix E: Research Methodology Appendix F: Future Research Suggested Reading Bibliography; Google Preview content
