Great Solo for Beginners and Great Fun

Comments:

This piece was my first public performance piece back in high school. It's been with me ever since and is a good go to at social events. Definitely a crowd pleaser and so fun to play.

Classic tune- A must have

Comments:

This tune is excellent for pedagogical purposes and also a crowd favorite in marimba concerts. I have used it many times in concert to clear the pallet after a more heavy piece of marimba literature.

Rain Dance

Comments:

This piece has enough brightness at the beginning and end to challenge the intermediate student but not overwhelm. The legato center section is a good place for the player to put themselves into the piece and communicate their own musicality.

Great For Beginners!

Comments:

I purchased this solo for the purpose of starting one of my private students on 4 mallet marimba. The music is not too hard at all and begins working beginning techniques of a 4 mallet method. The music has a very nice and fun sound to it and students love playing it and listening to it. I would definitely recommend this to anyone for use as a beginner 4 mallet solo.

Great piece

Comments:

What a great beginning 4 mallet peice! Even though it may be a little overdone, it's always good to have a piece that students can latch on to. This piece is very "catchy"!

Hop into 4

Comments:

I am currently preparing this piece for a regional solo festival in my area. I am a high school student and I have hand for snare rather than marimba. This piece has helped me get into the 4-mallet technique.

Overplayed

Comments:

This solo is very nice. It is a good solo for players who have grasped four mallet technique (pardon the pun) and want to play a "real" four mallet piece. It also happens to be the most overplayed marimba solo ever. Most of the (serious) percussionists i know have played this. It has a nice melody, and helps develop hand independence with the left hand ostinado. The simple rolling section is a nice place to develop phrasing skills.
