A COLLECTION OF MARIMBA SOLOS
The marimba solos in this book have been used by hundreds of percussionists all over the world. They work particularly well for strong high school and intermediate university mallet players. Though the musical styles within the book are diverse, they often lean towards a blend of classical and jazz, which makes them very appealing to students and professionals alike. It's always a pleasure to work on a piece you enjoy practicing and playing!
If you are tired of the same old standard marimba literature that has been on the market for years, spice things up a bit and give these a try. Students especially like the energy and the sometimes more "pop-like" nature of the pieces, and the solos are regularly played for university percussion auditions, juries, and recitals every year. Most of the pieces are short, and often several of them are combined to use as a set for performances. Enjoy.
