Afro-Caribbean Ensemble

Catalog description

Students will explore and learn about the Afro-Caribbean culture through a hands-on study of traditional Afro-Caribbean instruments, imported from Trinidad and Tobago, and other authentic resources. This hands-on pedagogical approach will enhance the students' educational interest, understanding, and appreciation for the Afro-Caribbean diaspora, while increasing their involvement with the campus and community. As part of the students' assessment, members of this ensemble will be expected to participate in public concerts, educational workshops, and assembly presentations. These service opportunities will provide students with an enriched educational experience and promote personal growth as they become community ambassadors for cultural diversity.
