School Activities
Rhythm • Confidence • Culture • Joy
Our After-School Marimba Club introduces pupils to marimba music through group music-making, rhythm games, and ensemble performance. Children learn to play together, listen to one another, and express themselves in a joyful, supportive environment.
No musical experience is needed and instruments are provided.
