Mbira are a family of musical instruments, traditional to the Shona people of Zimbabwe. They consist of a wooden board with attached staggered metal tines, played by holding the instrument in the hands and plucking the tines with the thumbs, the right forefinger, and sometimes the left forefinger. 

In this workshop students will learn how to play mbira instruments, creating harmonious sounds, using the tip of their fingers to make rhythms
