Marimbas are great instruments to learn music on because the sounds are easy to produce, they are fun to play, and there are a lot of amazing life lessons that naturally arise when learning the different parts and how they all fit together. Many universal artistic concepts arise when playing marimbas or drumming on buckets including rhythm, melody, harmony, balance, pattern recognition, ratios, polarities, improvisation, patience, and the sum being greater than each individual part.
