Taught by experienced instructors for both music and sports, this course blends entertainment with education. Our curriculum aims to provide the participants with the skills necessary to master the xylophone while enjoying the upbeat and engaging music associated with entertainment. The music is challenging, unique, and bring reputable teaching methods and proven musical techniques. From beloved pop songs to nostalgic ballpark tunes, and melodies that can be played on any instrument at any age, we also look to create your own melodies if time allows. This makes the xylophone a versatile instrument and, with progress, you can begin incorporating chords and accompaniments when we introduce our "Rolling with Chromatics and 4 Mallets" course.
