A skill-building instrument app centered on the mallet traditions of West Africa and the Americas. Players learn to perform traditional melodies on the Balafon (West Africa), Gyil (Ghana), and Marimba (Guatemala) through a color-coded notation system designed to make reading music accessible from the first session.
