Shumba is a class in which students learn increasingly complex marimba arrangements and parts. Students begin learning performance skills such as stage presence, dancing and MCing. The focus shifts to refining and developing existing material rather than primarily learning new material. The class begins to feel like a band! The groups will sometimes work together (dancing, MCing, hosho) and sometimes work in separate studios one-on-one with an instructor (marimba). Your child will be assigned a group/instructor on the first day of class.
