Teen Program

As children become teens, they crave more challenge, connection, and opportunity to share what they’ve accomplished with an audience. Many of our young adult marimba students audition for and become part of our Teen Program.

Currently, our Teen Program consists of two auditioned groups, Shamwari Tamba! and Takapenga. Both groups use a 7-piece marimba orchestra with drum set and percussion.
