A workshop that combines sound, tranquility, and curiosity
With the introductory workshop Kalimba/Sansula for Beginners, Marimba Musical Instruments invites you to a special musical entry in Bielefeld-Schildesche on June 5, 2026. Between 15:30 and 18:00, participants will discover two fascinating instruments that create an atmosphere with their warm, bell-like sound.
Gentle entry into a special sound world
The kalimba is considered an ideal beginner instrument: logically structured, easy to learn, and with a tonal range that enables small melodies after just a few minutes. The sansula enriches this experience with its meditative, floating sound character. This results in a workshop that does not focus on speed, but rather on immediate joy of sound, good instruction, and a conscious event experience.
Experience music, rather than just reading about it
The workshop will introduce both the 17-tone kalimba and the 9-tone sansula. Participants will explore tonal range, melodies, chords, arpeggios, and simple arrangements in two groups on both instruments. Rental instruments from the brand HOKEMA will be provided free of charge. This format is especially suitable for anyone wanting to enter the world of sound games without their own instrument.
Intimate, personal, and well organized
The course size is limited to 15 participants. This creates a focused audience atmosphere, short distances, and direct feedback in the lessons. The introductory workshop will be led by Conny Sommer, who will introduce the instruments to participants in a practical and understandable way. The format is recommended for individuals aged 12 to 99 - open, accessible, and ideal for curious beginners.
The location: Marimba Musical Instruments in Bielefeld-Schildesche
The event location is Marimba Musical Instruments at Westerfeldstraße 44 in 33611 Bielefeld. The event will take place indoors, providing a weather-independent experience. For visitors, this means: arrive, immerse yourself, try out instruments, and find your own access to sound and rhythm in a calm, inspiring environment.
Conclusion: A musical afternoon with discovery potential
The introductory workshop offers a rare opportunity to get to know and try out the kalimba and sansula in a small group. Those who want to experience music with their hands, ears, and feelings will find an easy, atmospheric entry here. It's best to join early and experience the sound feeling live.
