A classic text for percussionists.
"Modern School for Xylophone, Marimba, and Vibraphone" is a must have for any percussionist that wants to develop their mallet percussion knowledge. The book has a wide variety of material. From simple exercises for beginner players, to great sight reading etudes, to challenging classical solos and a plethora of excerpts from famous orchestral pieces. Whether you are just a beginner mallet player or experienced professional you cannot go wrong with this book!
One of the older books, but it definitely teaches you all of the skills required to becoming a great mallet player. Great book to have for sure.
My band director recommended this book to start me learning some different mallet instruments. It provides a lot of good exercises and some etudes. Some of the stickings are a bit weird, but it's nothing worth deducting a point for. Overall a great purchase.
This is a great book for the intermediate and advance mallet player.
