PETE THE PANSTICK®

An Interactive Software Program for Beginners

Pete the PanstickPete the Panstick® is a sophisticated, bilingual (Spanish and English) animated character. His role is to help beginners comprehend and remember basic musical concepts in an interactive way. Pete has been trained to dance, talk, clap his hands and play the Steelpan. Students can lime with Pete, unsupervised, in an atmosphere that is simultaneously filled with fun and learning.

Travel with Pete as he navigates through this program in a structured way, chapter by chapter. These chapters will ensure that students discover and experience more about this revolutionary instrument and its history.

First, the student is introduced to the Steelpan, via an illustrated layout of its notes, as Pete narrates the range of its compass. The student also learns the major and minor scales.  Pete narrates and plays each note and major scale.

Second, there are two instructional films which illustrate how the instrument is made traditionally and trace its evolution and history. A third film shows school children playing.

Next, Pete introduces the student to the world of ten virtuoso pan musicians and plays clips of their famous Panorama arrangements in the Calypso genre.

Then the student plays popular Nursery Rhymes and Folk Songs before undertaking an assessment with a specially designed Quiz.

The student can then relax for a while by listening to seven different genres of Steelpan music with Pete: Classical, Gospel, Jazz, Latin, Pop, Reggae, and Soca.

Pete the Panstick® is a logical introduction to the Pan in Education Series of knowledge based steelpan music products: Pan in Education and The Rainmakers developed by Sanch Electronix.
