My Panyard is also a model space for imparting knowledge to all generations and to help instil the value of this unique instrument, the steelpan.  As a dynamic training resource for anyone wishing to play the steelpan instrument, it is aimed to provide an excellent experience for all.

This website was created to give unbiased information on steelpan culture and to set consistent goals for all steelpan enthusiasts.

A panyard is traditionally where steelpan instruction is undertaken. It is a place where one can go to get experience and to gain an understanding about the development of the steelpan. Participating in a panyard will give you a first hand experience of the roles and functions of the family of steelpan instruments. 

Along with a panyard comes the name of your band. How the name is chosen can be attributed to many things.  Historically bands have chosen names from the area in which they are based, the name of a street, the name of a song, film or an important event in history. 

The name My Panyard represents this virtual platform. You are a member of the band. 

Today, we all share in the history of the steelpan and in its future. Follow @mypanyard
