‘Creole Soul’ for Beetham pupils

Internationally-acclaimed trumpeter Etienne Charles who is in Trinidad for his concert Carnival The Sound of a People this weekend, took some time out to go to the Beetham Centre, to speak with the children.

Using his trumpet, Charles showed the children the value of parents, respect and manners. He showed them sound, rhythm and co-ordination with their voice, hands and feet.

It was truly interesting to see how the tiny tots responded to Charles who seemed to love the role as teacher.

The visit was arranged by chairman of the centre Peter Aleong in collaboration with principal Charmaine Anderson and Charles’s father, Francis who also told the children how important it is to listen to their parents.

At the end of the session each child was given a Creole Soul sticker.
