There's nothing wrong with the marimba's height. Although, you need to practice by using your wrists' rotation. Focus on not using almost only your arms' vertical movements but your wrists. Work on being able to use *every single* mallet individually from all the others, that is to say that only the outer mallet in your right hand is hitting but the inner doesn't move at all; at a faster tempo or different pieces your technique won't work.. Good luck.

No, that's a good height. The marimba should be at your waist because the wrists should be parallel to the forearms to rotate properly.

awesome performance... neat song

the marimba was a lil tall though... its ok to adjust before a concert like this

Very nice job!!!

[eeshmegrugeh]

your notes were pretty accurate i guess, but no where near how this piece could be. theres alot of reading beyond the music here.

sounds good!! what mallets are you using?

i love this piece, sounds good!

That marimba looks a little too tall for you. As a result, the shaft of your mallets hit the keys quite a few times. Otherwise, I thought it was pretty good. =)
