For our musically-inclined students, we've started offering marimba classes.

This is our student Dana, wowing us all with newly-learned marimba stylings on the school's patio:

If you're not familiar with the marimba, it's a large, wooden, xylophone-type instrument. In Oaxaca and Chiapas, it's especially popular, and marimba music can often be heard in public squares, restaurants, even during church services.

Class times are flexible but generally involve at least two lessons per week of two hours each. You'll go home with a truly Oaxacan skill!
