What they're Saying

The music in #MarimbaBaby, like Ford’s book Marimba: Technique through Music, will serve to enrich the burgeoning marimba repertoire of the past 20 years with pieces that are based on real music. I have already seen first-hand the benefit of this music on young students’ musical development and sensitivity on the marimba.
