In this lively, hands-on workshop, students will experience the power and joy of marimba music. Rooted in the traditions of the Shona people of Zimbabwe, participants will learn accessible rhythmic patterns on African style marimbas (large wooden xylophones) and then play them together to form a rich, exciting blend. At the end of the workshop we will discuss a variety of options to continue playing after the festival. No previous musical experience necessary!
