Join St Peter's North Community Marimba Band and play African folk songs (and more) on the African marimba. 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 drumkit, djembe or shakers with singing.
Some of the things you will learn on this workshop series 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
