Summer Sounds Mallet Camp
In this camp, we will learn how to play mallet percussion instruments through written music, exercises, and learning by ear. We will play on marimbas, vibraphones, and xylophones! Mallet camp is a great place to build your understanding of the piano keyboard, learn to effectively improvise, and make new friends in music.
