Melodies For Wooden Children

Michael Charles Smith, a marimba soloist, composer, and teacher, has been performing his original compositions for the past 12 years throughout the Pacific Northwest. Although marimba was a relatively unfamiliar instrument to many, Michael has introduced scores of listeners to the aural and visual treat that marimba provides and has developed quite a following in the process. This gifted musician and inspired composer recently completed a long awaited album of twenty of his original compositions titled Melodies for Wooden Children. Inspired by a dream, this concept album is the soundtrack for a children's story using the listeners' imagination. Michael's command of his instrument and haunting melodies will linger long in your heart.
