We feel that marimbas are a perfect fit for bringing hands-on accessible music to people from all walks of life. Marimbas are a great teaching instrument because the sounds are easy to produce and there are a lot of amazing life lessons that naturally arise when learning the different parts, how they all fit together, and how they sometimes cut across and joke with each other. Besides the obvious rhythm, melody, and harmony, many other universal artistic concepts arise as well including balance, pattern recognition, ratios, polarities, improvisation, patience, and the sum being greater than each individual part. Playing the marimba utilizes the mind and opens the heart in such a way that it seems to work wonders for inspiring kids and people of all ages to learn and play music together. Keeping the mind and body active in this way is great for cognitive development and as a preventative to “age related” memory loss and cognitive-function disorders.
