Steel Drums in Talitha Kumi – A Joint Music Project in Palestine

We, at Talitha Kumi school are very glad today to welcome Prof. Harvey Price and his wife Linda Price from USA, who brought with them 21 steel drums to our school to train our students how to play them.
Students from Talitha Kumi School, Hope school in Beit Jala and the Arab Evangelical School in Hebron will be trained by professional music teacher Safi Daeem in Talitha Kumi School. The first training started on February 22, 2022 and will continue throughout the school year. This is the first time in history Steel Drums are introduced into Palestinian society and schools. Groups of Palestinian students from three local schools will have the chance to be trained and to play Steel Drums in this pioneer program. Daeem, the music teacher from Ibillin in cooperation with the music teachers of these schools will do the training weekly.
Sincere thanks and appreciation to Prof. Price and his organization for this generous support that will help Palestinian students for the first time in history to learn and to play Steel Drums. Sure, this will help students to connect with other people around the world through music. We also, thank Prof Sami Adwan whose cooperation and support made this program possible.
