Come try a marimba class for FREE!

Prospective students are always welcome to try a class before committing to the full semester. Starting a class late or mid-session? No problem, we’ll pro-rate the tuition for you. Need to miss a class? Let us know and we’ll arrange a make-up class for you.

Introductory Marimba Classes for Kids
Children are welcome to begin learning marimba in our group classes when they turn 6 or have completed kindergarten. Beginning youth students are grouped by age to ensure peer-to-peer contact and age-appropriate skill development. Children start in either Twiza/Giraffe (approx. ages 6-8 / grades 1-3) or Nzou/Elephant (approx. ages 9-12 / grades 4-7). Read more…

Introductory Marimba Classes 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! Read more…

Introductory Marimba Classes for Adults
We believe that rhythm and music are an inherent part of human nature and that each of us has the ability to uncover this nature. We believe that YOU have musical ability and ARE a musical person. We are committed to giving you an opportunity to experience music and its many uplifting, joyous, and healing qualities–no matter your age or previous experience. Read more…

Introductory Drumming Classes for Adults
Our drumming classes are taught by instructor Scott Parker Mast. Scott has been teaching and performing African rhythms of Cuba and Zimbabwe professionally since 1997. Scott’s study of rhythms of Zimbabwe began with several years in Albuquerque New Mexico, culminating with a three-month visit to Zimbabwe. Scott has also studied in Puerto Rico and Cuba and is a long-running member of local Afro-Cuban ensemble, Bamboche. Read more…
