Introductory solos for 3 or 4 mallets
Instrumentation:
- Marimba (low A)
In Five Miniatures for Marimba, talented composer and educator Kyle H. Peters brings to the world a collection of introductory solos for marimba as musically compelling as they are useful for technique development.
Designed for beginning to intermediate students embarking on their four-mallet journey, a distinctive feature of this collection is that all pieces are playable with either three or four mallets — a helpful option for those new to four-mallet technique. The solos use repetition to encourage players to hone their technique while maximizing their musicality.
The five miniatures can be performed individually or as a collection, and all are playable on a standard 4.3-octave (low A) marimba.
Included in this collection:
• Introduction | Easy | 2’00”
• Groove | Easy | 2’00”
• Floating | Med-Easy | 2’15”
• Joy | Medium | 2’10”
• Emerge | Medium | 2’30”
