Hey! It's me! :)

Q&A: Emily Lemmerman, Pan Builder As the first woman to tune for the legendary Panorama competition in Trinidad, Emily Lemmerman has become a pioneer in the steelpan movement. Traditionally, pan builders, known in Trinidad as...

Hey, guys! So, are you interested in playing Panorama, but can't get to Trinidad during Carnival season or to NYC over Labor Day? I can help advise if you're interested in either of those experiences, but there are also Panoramas across the Caribbean over the summer months. This year, Panorama in St Vincent is on July 2, and in Antigua, it's on July 31. If you're interested in an authentic Panorama experience this summer, send me a message, and I'll help you organize!

I'm back from five weeks of blending in Trinidad, planning my next six months of tunings. In the works: New York, Switzerland, Antigua, California, London! and of course, plenty work here in Texas...

Want a lead pan in time for the holidays??? I have several affordable, chromed, Low C- High G imported tenor pans available, with cases and sticks! They were built in Trinidad, and I did the final tuning here. Message me if you're interested!

One of my all-time favorite testimonials (some small ESL issues, but the sentiment is fabulous!)

Dear Emily:

I love you. You are a person with we can steel horses!! You are a music women with a good feeling! I would be happy to meet you again! Perhaps we can meet us in Trinidad. When do you go for the next Panorama?

I was playing my yellow D(trouble) Second after your tuning. It sounds very sexy! I like this Pan like my cats Boogsie and Trini. Can you understand that? Our home is open for you. You can always stay with us on a family way!

Tomorrow: tuning in Dallas!

I'm so sad to hear the news about Edwin Pouchet. I was glad to know him- he was always very welcoming and supportive of me. I was so lucky to meet and work with him in 2009, and his was a face I was always happy to see over my many visits to Trinidad. My condolences to his family as well as the PCS Silver Stars Steel Orchestra community.
