played by Christopher Scherer at regional solo ensemble festival. Received a I rating. I didnt have access to a bigger marimba, so i had to move up an octave partway through the song. I had planned on using a 5 octave, but found out I couldn't get one the night before competition.

  • doin great. i'd work some more on the tricky part w/ the 32nds and 5tuplets and such. also your grip seems tense. if you flip your hands over to sort of a handshake position (it'll feel weird at first) it should relax some more and give you some better sounds

  • well, he's playing it for a high school competition so he would kind of have to follow the dynamics and tempos written in the piece, at least i'm pretty sure its partly-to-mostly judged on that...

    littledrummerboy, you're amazing! =)

  • Hi! your good.

  • yea xtwotheesee....

    the way he's playing it is definitly not in the writing, but that's exactly why he's playing it well. he made it his own

  • There are a lot of tempo changes in this piece. They are written in the score along with the "acclerondo's and retards."

  • no way (responding to the person under me), thats on purpose! part of a good musician is interpretation. HELLO!

  • okay, i dont know what the music looks like, and yes i don't know there "accelerondo's" or retards" written in, but you definetly need to work on tempo matinance

  • Hey Chris, I really like your video. Keep up the good work.

  • The one critique I have to offer, other than the people above...

    Don't sound so metronomic about it, add some heart and soul into it all.

    If you were playing Restless, then play it with your current style in this video, but please, put more into it next time around.

  • I am glad you picked this piece, but I think it is a little too advanced for you. You might want to try some easier solos. I put up a video of my performance, you should check it out.
