Get Started: Marimba for Teens

Some teens want to play marimba with their friends, some teens want to play marimba with other teens, and some older teens may feel comfortable with an adult group. Whatever the comfort of your young adult, we probably have something that will be a good fit for them!

Where can participating in classes for teens at Kutandara lead?

• lasting friendships
• increased self-confidence
• improved grades and focus at school
• ownership in being part of something bigger than yourself
• possible membership in our teen performance bands Kunaka or Takapenga
• travel opportunities through our Music & Culture Tour of Zimbabwe
• cultural exchange experiences through our Visiting Artist Program
• and so much more!


If your teen feels comfortable playing with adults, check out these introductory adult + teen classes:
