The Samuel O. Powell School of Music on Nevis will be engaging in a 6-week

Fife Training Workshop which is expected to teach both children and adults

to play the Fife.

The fife is a wind instrument played by many greats on the island, such as the

late David Freeman. The workshop will commence on Saturday October 19^th,

and every Saturday thereafter from 1-4pm at Market Shop in Gingerland.

The VON Newsline caught up with Fife Workshop Facilitator, Vinelle Powell

who shared her inspiration behind the initiative:

Ms. continued by saying “basic music lessons would also be taught during this workshop and give members a greater appreciation for our culture as discipline and other values are needed for success”.

She also told the VON Newsline the aim of the workshop:

Registration fee is thirty EC dollars and members will be given their own Fife. For More information, call (869) 668-4199.
