About the Artist
Martin has been performing around the world since age 15. He expresses his diverse life experience through songwriting and production, creating sound pictures which invite the imagination to wander far and wide.
Teaching Philosophy
We learn from each other constantly and it is not simply about imparting information. The most valuable thing Martin can give as a teacher is the inspiration and ability to continue to learn for the long term.
Testimonial
Program Description
A travelogue through music and languages. Martin Zarzar tells his story of growing up in many countries through the rhythms and songs of his childhood and beyond. A one human show featuring percussion, voice, guitar, and piano, transports us through the cultures, languages, and unique characters that shaped Martin's life. With folk songs and rhythms, storytelling and sing-alongs, we travel together on the exciting and sometimes uncertain path of discovery that is growing up in many very different places - ultimately finding a home and a place of belonging in a constantly changing world.
My band includes you. I like to include the audience as much as possible and the performance is sprinkled with moments of participation through percussion and singing. I also use a looping pedal to create interesting atmospheres as a background to the storytelling part of the experience. No prior music experience is required, it all flows very naturally.
