      I can't remember exactly, but I believe this was either my first or one of my first four mallet solos. I was in 7th grade at the time, that would've been about 7 years ago. This video brings back a lot of memories and nostalgia about how much fun I had playing marimba.

  • @ZeginMakesMusic

    When I was in high school, i played this to empress everyone. At the time, we all learned with 2 mallets. Holding 3, 4, or even 6 was a flex in itself, nevermind what youre playing. This is my go to song to play in any band hall.

  • @iamsophieseas
    @iamsophieseas 7 лет назад +107

    I played this solo and got superior and now today I have to play at state for solo and ensemble. This solo is a great choice for a first 4 mallet solo, but keep in mind that it isn't very simple. It is very challenging with some rythyms and dynamics and stuff, but once you get that down this song will become so fun to play. I totally reccomend this!

    • @JustAnotherPerc

I’m not necessarily new to the 4 mallet pieces but I’m still learning. I have about 40% of this song complete for solo and ensemble. Deadline is in 2 weeks from now.

    Amazing performance! For folks learning this piece, I believe the 2nd bar of the 6/8 has a misprint... Should be F&A in the right hand rather than the printed D&F... I could be wrong, but usually the first three bars of the melody are repeated, and this would be an unusual exception if intended.
