Marla Leigh

Marla Leigh (Goldstein) is an internationally-recognized composer, educator, and composer who is passionate about teaching and bringing people together to share in the universal language of rhythm. She is a classically trained musician who has a BFA and MFA in Percussion and composition.

Marla has built a globally linked community of drummers through her pioneering Frame Drum Academy online. As an endorsing artist for the Cooperman Company, Marla co-developed a line of signature frame drums that reflect her unique playing style.

In May 2020, Marla released her debut album and music video, "Rhythms of Tof Miriam."  Recorded in Israel @ OnyxStudio, the album honors the ancient lineage of women frame drummers through song and video.  As Marla says, "The Tof Miriam experience is timeless but fresh, spicy but rich, and comforting but mysterious."  

Marla's second studio album "TRANCEndance", will be released in Winter 2024.
