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. Also noted were Panyard's teacher guides and song books assisting the teacher to incorporate the Jumbie Jam into their existing music classroom or teaching it as a new group instrument.

We have this near our front door and everyone who comes round has a play on it. It sounds so beautiful; it's amazing how every note seems to go with every other note perfectly. Even people with no musical talent cannot make this sound bad. The feet are cute too. I don't know why it's marketed as a kid's toy - it's a genuine, lovely instrument.

2.0 out of 5 stars stand is cheap!, January 26, 2012

The drum sounds OK but the stand is made of flimsy plastic and was broken in no time. We are now looling for a new stand! I am sure one could find a drum that sounds just as good or better than this one with a strong metal stand that will last!

My husband has one in the music school where he teaches percussion. It is awesome! The sound is as good as any full sized steel drum I've heard. The children who take drum lessons always want to try it out! I could envision having recitals with the steel drum and the trap drums. It is well worth the price!
