Jones-Suite Pepper

Suite Pepper by Brett Jones is a collection of solos for the four-mallet marimbist. Each piece addresses a particular stroke type in isolation. The solos can be learned in a sequential manner from the first to the last as intended, or in any order that the marimba player may desire. A marimbist may choose to only work on selected movements to enhance specific techniques. "Suite Pepper" is an excellent collection for anyone learning four- mallet technique.

The solos, played in order, address the following stroke types respectively:
1. Double Vertical Stroke (parallel placement, mostly consistent interval)
2. Double Vertical Stroke (parallel placement, changing intervals)
3. Double Vertical Stroke (variable placement)
4. Double Vertical Stroke (chorale style)
5. Single Independent Stroke
6. Single Alternating Stroke
7. Double Lateral Stroke
8. Triple Lateral Stroke
9. One-Handed Roll
