MUSIC EDUCATION

The Jumbie Jam is a fantastic instrument for music education. It is an easy and effective way to get students started immediately. Schools across the globe are now utilizing the Jumbie Jam as a primary instrument in their music classes and programs.

Students are not overwhelmed or intimidated by the Jumbie Jam, ensuring an effective and immediate learning experience. The Jumbie Jam is smaller than a full-sized Steel Drum, with only 8 notes (which are labeled) as opposed to the complex and expensive 32- note full-sized drum. The Steel Drum is a multi-faceted instrument providing both percussive and melodic musical capabilities creating a well rounded musical experience. Originating in the country of Trinidad & Tobago it is a culturally rich instrument providing the opportunity for cross curricular studies.

Music directors are thrilled to implement a new, exciting and cultural instrument. Further enhancing the product, we have developed classroom curriculum providing guidance on implementing and expanding the instruments scope along with special labels and song books for individuals with Special Needs.

The Jumbie Jam was selected for a “Best Tools for Schools” award by NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants). The panel of diverse music educators identified the Jumbie Jam as music instrument that provides innovative solutions and opportunities for music learning.

Excellent service, November 9, 2011

Jay – See all my reviews

Verified Purchase(What’s this?)

This review is from: Jumbie Jam Steel Drum Musical Instrument, Purple (Electronics)

I ordered the Jumbie Jam from Rhythms of Pierian Springs and received it within a couple of days even though I ordered it standard shipping, but shipping was upgraded by the seller, so very fast! The Jumbie Pan is a great starter pan. It has an amazing sound. I play a standard pan and the quality of this small pan is the best I’ve heard. I got it for a friend’s daughter and she loves it. I would definitely order from Rhythms of Pierian Springs again as they are very dependable and knowledgeable about these drums.
