The NSSBE: Advancing Steelpan Education in the US | Chris Tanner

“In the US, every instrument…guitar, trumpet, piano, has its own society where people who are interested…or are practitioners and teachers in that discipline, get together at conferences, via professional journals, websites; and they share best practices, ideas,…what has worked, what hasn’t worked, what are their challenges, so that we’re not reinventing the wheel every time somebody wants to do this thing.” – Chris Tanner
And that, essentially is what the NSSBE provides for the Steelpan art form in the US.
