“If You Can Walk, You Can Dance.
If You Can Talk You Can Sing!”
- Zimbabwean Proverb
Zimbabwean Marimba music is meant to be played together! Our classes are taught in a band format, where everyone gets to try out the different sizes of marimbas, and instantly become a part of a thriving community. Prior musical experience is welcome but not necessary. We hope you’ll decide to join us!
A Welcoming Community
We love to celebrate making music together! There is a place for everyone in our classes from beginners to professional musicians! Join the marimba family!

Have Marimba at Your Event!
Marimba music is a high-energy, foot stomping, heart pounding, hand clapping experience. Performance highlights include Austin City Limits Festival, SXSW, Formula 1 Grand Prix, and Waco Cultural Arts Fest! Ask us about Texas Commission on the Arts Touring Roster grants.
What is so cool about playing marimba is that you need no skill, just a willingness to jump in and play.
