Solos And Etudes For Marimba Book

85 Traditional 2-Mallet Pieces for Study, Performance or Sight Reading

This collection features 85 traditional 2-mallet pieces designed for study, performance, or sight-reading. It serves as both a foundational method book and a supplementary resource for other mallet methods. The pieces require a 4-octave marimba, though most can also be played on xylophone and/or vibraphone, providing flexibility for various musical contexts.

With 136 pages of material, this book is perfect for recitals, juries, or contest selections, offering a wide range of works that enhance both technique and musical expression on the marimba. It’s an excellent resource for percussionists aiming to develop their skills and repertoire.
