This was awesome! This is also super helpful for a fairly experienced percussionist that is trying to properly learn 4 mallet technique. keep up the great work!
I think I’d like to do this piece for solo and ensemble. I’ve never done a four mallet piece before other than learning the technique. Do you think this would be a good piece to learn on?
Wyatt A great that you are aspiring to do a solo! First of all it’s really hard to make a solid recommendation without seeing you play. However, I think it’s a good first piece because it covers three of the four stroke types and you can show musicality in several different ways. I think it’s not a good first piece because the roll section can be tricky to put together if you’ve never done that before. Why not try it, and if you have trouble with the roll section, then try one of the pieces in Marimba Technique Through Music by Mark Ford. Those pieces focus on individual techniques so you can really take time to develop your technique. Good luck, and let me know if you have more questions.
i am in your situation as well with learning this piece. my advice to you is other than practicing a ton, listen to video recordings in your free time. the more familiar you are with how the piece sounds, the easier it will be to learn and play through. hope this helps and good luck
Of course. And also one of the most played for beginning marimbists which I why I recorded it for educational purposes. Check out my one study one one summary vid. 😉
@@POVMarimba hmmmm idk really lol, but i do perfer solos that prioritize the actual melodic value over simply technique difficulty and such. For example right now im doing ghost garden because im pretty bored and its pretty decent i would say. Its a little repetetive but there are other better ones

This is my third year as a percussionist and I’ve embarked on the journey of learning this song
Edit: I just learned 4 mallets at the end of last year
Awesome!
that last hard part i really want to learn so bad
Check my website for the cheatsheet and also my video Masterclass.

It’s not as hard as it looks. But you can start with some two mallet music first.

Doing this peice for my class
Like the adventures on anime and online game. ☺️
Classic! But POV! :)
Thanks!
Hey can you please do mystic fire by Julie Davila? I love the videos
I gotta get back to a regular schedule of vids.
Are you looking down at your hands when you do this?
Great question. When I memorize something, then yes I look down. If I’m sight-reading something for the first time, I never look down.
Thanks, I just performed this today, I kept the sheet music up but only for reference
Tear drops?
Nope
I have to learn this in less than 2 weeks because I procrastinated... advice?

nice. what mallets do you use?👍
In this video, it’s the wave wrap number 2 from marimba 1
@@POVMarimba oh nice. Thanks
Nice
I use to love this piece and now I feel as if its so over played I just cannot stand it anymore
Story of my life. 😂
1:03
Can you do green sleevs
Greensleeves? As in the Christmas classic?
I dont like the part at 2:35
I don’t like it either. 😂

Stefan hates the part at 2:35
You mean you don’t like to play that part of the music, or you don’t like my interpretation, or what?
@POV Marimba Stefan does not like playing that part and thinks that its too aggressive compared to the rest of the song
@@miau31333 yeah…it’s a little out of place.
Not calling you bad, full respect, but this is debatably one of the worst and overused solos. I hate it so much 😂
Of course. And also one of the most played for beginning marimbists which I why I recorded it for educational purposes. Check out my one study one one summary vid. 😉

@@POVMarimba yeah no for sure! Its just i hear it everywhere and there are so many underrated beginner solos too
@@axolotlwolof1412 for sure. What’s your favorite “underrated” solo?
