Man, y'all need to put ma nigga aaron up in this mafuckin boosheet if ya wan her sum real musik. Now I know ya done did got this update sent to yas account.. so tell him what flagelinurmouf had said.
Hey dude! Pretty good chops. The notes are mostly there, work on better accuracy (esp. with the 1 and 4 mallets). At places like 1:07 your body is making some awkward movements. Realize that you CAN get a great sound on the very edge of the keys so try and experiment with that. You want to keep your body as flush with the instrument as possible. Make sure you're playing exactly what's on the page note and rhythm wise. that you shouldn't mess with. Mess with dynamics and tempos! Keep it up man!
sticks definitely play role in playing! the harder the mallets (which I presume you had used medium to hard mallets) the more articulate your notes are and the softer the mallets, the better choral sound you'll get
@MrRidhard thats Absolutely true, but i was referring more to the fact that you shouldnt choose a specific brand and model of mallet just because someone else used them. Furthermore, i dont even like the mallets that were used in this video haha.

Love it. You're stance is really good and the camera used to record is also pretty good. I'm trying to learn this piece for our solo and ensemble and I have two questions. What type of mallets did you use and what key was the music because it sounds different than what I've been playing. But knowing my musical experience I'm probably just playing something wrong.(I'm in 9th grade with 3 years experience)
@mystyka13 Its awesome that you're learning this piece! It was one of the most important things which helped me to where I am now.
As for the questions: 1. mallet choice doesn't matter as much as you might think, the most important part of your sound is how you use them. But since mallet choice is still important, if I remember correctly I used 2 pairs of IP1002. Nothin special. (out of characters, cont'd below)
Answer 2: Last time I checked, this was in D minor. But that could have changed somewhere in between my camera and youtube (though I doubt it). Either way, it truly doesn't matter.
@mystyka13 On my stance: I should stand of straight, and keep my chin up, looking down with my eyes. And I actually used Vic Firth black multiapplication mallets or somethin like that. Again, nothin special.
Beautiful Shaping! i love the feel you give it. in some parts it sounds like, to me at least, that your left hand is dominating your right in sound. try not to let that happen. if anything bring out the right hand more because its the melody. I love your roll speed as well. at 3:30 its kind of hard to hear the changes in your right hand, so kinda exaggerate the changes of the notes a little more. one of the things i do is bring mallets 1 2 and 4 close to the resonators to bring mallet 3 out more
Good job. I just wanted to recommend a piece though that also helps to work on technique if you felt like looking it up. It's Yellow After The Rain by Mitchell Peters. Amazing piece. Super fun.
@jayfabio1 Rain Dance is an extremely common solo, especially for beginning marimbists, and it helped me quite a bit, especially in the realm of shaping and dynamics.
Wow. Great dynamics. Great presicion. Great Stance. Nice camera hahaa. I just bought this piece and i am going to be playing it for solo and ensamble, and if thats what you were playing it for then you should have gotten a 1 :] good job!

At 0:56 I always only considered using the two inner mallets... never even thought of using all of them xD

@aspicerr thanks. i wish you luck :)
its funny--a one is the lowest score here in IN. i got a nine (highest).
nothingissound1 1 year ago
@nothingissound1 now that we're closer to solo and ensemble, I remembered that a 9 is the lowest and the best score...getting a one is impossible.
