If you have a budding marimba player who will be going into grades 5-12, they are invited to join Summer Intensives! We will meet each night of the week, Monday-Friday and learn 1 piece in a week. The first week is geared towards students who are new to playing marimbas (though all are welcome). The second week will be a slightly harder piece, but again, all are welcome.
We will play a piece from Southern Africa, as well as a popular piece of music. We will do some singing, movement, and percussion on other small instruments/drums as well. it is FUN, and a great way to spend a summer evening. This is a great way to experience playing marimbas!
SPACE IS LIMITED TO 25 per class, so sign up here:
