Learning marimba as an adult is about more than just making music—it’s about connection, growth, and belonging. In our classes, you’ll discover the joy of playing Zimbabwean marimba together as a group, while also building the skills of listening, teamwork, and community.

​

Through our spiral learning approach, concepts are revisited over time, deepening your musical knowledge and confidence with every session. Each class celebrates progress in meaningful ways: sharing songs with friends and family at the end of a session, joining in our Bring-a-Friend Week or One Song, One Community campaign, and performing at our annual Spring Student Festival.

​

Most adults begin in an introductory class and grow alongside their classmates, advancing through new skill levels and repertoire at a comfortable pace. With each step, opportunities for growth expand—whether that’s performing, traveling, or simply enjoying the camaraderie of making music together.

​

At Kutandara, we believe that music is an essential part of being human—and that you are already a musical person. No matter your background or previous experience, our adult marimba classes invite you to uncover that musical self and experience the uplifting, healing, and joyful qualities of music in community.
