The Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport in collaboration with Republic Bank Guyana Limited has launched its ‘Right Start Pan Minors Music Literacy Camp’ to nurture the musical talents of the nation’s youth.
A release from the Department of Public Information (DPI) said that there are six camps in Regions Two, Three, Four, Six, Seven and Ten. Each camp can facilitate up to 35 participants.
The youngest in the programme is eight-year-old, Aden Adams, who welcomed the exposure to music.
“It teaches me a whole other level of music and because I have a big band of friends so they can help me learn new notes and new stuff. I feel happy because my brother and I were not here, Amar and me would’ve been just stuck at home doing nothing so I am happy that it is here so we all could play steelpan,” he told DPI.
