What You’ll Need:

Students will be provided either a marimba or vibraphone to play throughout the day but will need to bring a set of 4 mallets.

What You’ll Get:

World-class instruction on a multitude of techniques in the Stevens Grip, lunch and a fun t-shirt!

This is a no-stress learning environment where you’ll be gaining knowledge from Bluecoats, KSU and Atlanta Quest’s own Claire Kenney.
