Motion Beyond by Mark Ford - Benji Baker PASIC 2010

That's pretty great. Gotta tell ya. I

I'm planning on doing this solo for PASIC 2011. Any suggestions?

@Adamgreen19 Play it controlled and use medium hard mallets. Be subtle in your approach and make your own interpretation. I suggest listening to Mark Ford's recording while you're learning the piece, then not listening to it again until you've found your way to play it. Once you've established your interpretation, go back and listen to Ford's recording and see if your interpretations is what you want in comparison. Good luck to you! Remember, be subtle, and be in control.

@benjiontenors Thanks a ton. :)

great job for high school level. More dynamic contrast, slightly softer mallets, and perhaps a little slower for accuracy and you could win with this piece.

[benjiontenors]

@xylojet It's 5 minutes...I went a few seconds over even with all the cuts i made
