Welcome to the creative arm of  birdsong SteelBand, Academy and Social Enterprises. What began as a student Steeband in 1973 on at the University of the West Indies (UWI) St. Augustine Campus has morphed into a far more complex institution. We now feature a Music Education Division (Academy) as well a Social Enterprises division. In 2005, we set up the birdsong Foundation to oversee and manage our various initiatives. Th birdsong Foundation was incorporated as a not-for-profit company and received the registered Charitable Status by the Trinidad and Tobago Government. 

birdsong Academy

The Academy was founded in 2004, with the express goal of addressing the lack of music education opportunities. More than 1,500 young persons have benefitted from the programme. All instructions and intruments is are provided free by birdsong. Aimed at youth aged 12-18, it has achieved outstanding success and international acclaim.
