Play African songs on the marimba of Zimbabwe. Complete beginners are most welcome and there will be plenty of room for growth and development.

The community band is open to 7 marimba players, spread across soprano, tenor and baritone marimbas. We also welcome anyone who would like to join to play djembe or shakers, with singing.

Some of the things you will learn playing in the community marimba band include:

• A repertoire of folk songs from Zimbabwe, South Africa and Botswana

• An understanding of the cultural context of each song

• Confidence to play on soprano, tenor and baritone marimbas

• Confidence to play several variations interchangeably on each song

• The ability to sing some basic vocal lines to the songs you learn=
