Make sure when you say size that you mean the width of the bars.

as a new marcher who just looked at one of these today, this helps alot. ive only been learning to march for two days and have to know this in three days. this helped TREMENDOUSLY. im feeling alot more confident. thank you so much!

When I don't have my instrument, I cry.

Guitar Center should be avoided because of their 2017 scandal where they handled the accusations on Nathaniel Hernandez unethically.

Most likely, the French horn part is placed closer to the woodwinds in the symphony score because traditionally it's part of the woodwind quintet, thanks to its mellow tone. This way it can be considered a medium between woodwinds and brass instruments, being able to be relevant to both groups.

Because of each brother trying to "one-up" each other, I believe they made both Zildjian and Sabian better and hence, the two best cymbal manufacturers in the world! Competition does that...brotherly rivalry takes it to the new heights!

What is your favorite Frank Erickson piece?

Thanks for the video.

This def deserves more views it’s so helpful

Okay, i play 4 mallets for 1 year now, and i am learning Homo Balcanicus by Zivkovic, and i've never played any piece from this list

I played Yellow After the Rain for my first 4 mallet solo in middle school and was able to take it to state S&E.

This is so helpful. You explained it in a way that I understand and will remember! Thank you!

I am a bass player and my bow is always in the way, real lifesaver!!

What is your favorite piece by Carol Brittin Chambers?

Like your mood. Explanation's rhythm are just perfect. Thanks for sharing.

thank you sir

I played Yellow After the Rain around a month ago at state. Definetly think it's a good one to start with.

Hi! My school just had a gift from some local organization and we got a few instruments for our School's marching band. One of them is a Marimba, around 3 octaves long i think? Just had them a few months ago, and i was soo happy to have the skill for it, since our marching band officers told me that I was the one who's gonna play the marimba from now on. Just came across your video and thought it was very helpful, since i still feel new around my Marimba despite using it for many band practices. I didn't know that a Marimba was basically a percussion instrument so i guess that makes me a percussionist? Still have no idea about that one. Just wanna say thank you for creating a video about these cool instruments, definitely will check out ur other vids man! -sending love from the Philippines 🎉

I've been a musician for 30yrs and I've never heard this referred to as the "F clef".

Ummmmmmm yes, good info. But you put the cart b4 the horse. It's named (not nickname) "F clef" bc the SYMBOL ITSELF is a modified LETTER F!! (same with G clef, whoahhh)

Mmmm bass clef is more the nickname for the F Clef, especially as the clefs can be moved along the staff to account for the ranges of various instruments. Treble clef is the nickname for the G Clef, and alto clef is the nickname for C Clef. This is basic music theory.

sea clef👴

Why not B-clef

It’s so cool seeing to see how we each as musicians can interpret and play the same piece so differently! I love this! Great work!

Rain Dance in high school was my first solo. 😂

Micheal Sweeney is the goat when it comes to middle school band music

First 4 mallet solo I tried to learn: between zero and one from the book mile marker zero by ben wahlund. It was so bad, I played it for comments only at solo and ensemble. First 4 mallet solo I could play well: A cricket sang and set the sun by Blake Tyson. First performed it at my audition for the Hayes school of Music at App. State 2 weeks before I took it to S&E. I didn't get into Hayes School of Music. However, I used Cricket for my 4 mallet audition piece for UCF, FSU, and JU. Didn't get into UCF or FSU, but JU gave me a $47K fine arts merit scholarship.

Yo I love you videos keep it up bro 👍

I have Ghost Garden. I have not performed it. I only have 3.3 octave marimba so it’s harder trying to find solos in range.

How long do the Earasers last if wearing every day for playing musical instruments at home?

How do they work with repeats and first and second endings?

Yellow after the rain. Bach cello suite in GM. First mvt. Love the Chanel.

hi dear friend good evening how are you? excuse me is there a glockenspiel instrument but it's first note to be c 4 in the middle octave and this model of glockenspiel instrument that you have spoken about it it's first note is almost in fa and sol 5 octave? and please guide/lead me.

Best piece he made is equinox

Interesting video. I'd like to suggest a composer profile video feature of Robert W. Smith.

For practice it sounds ok, but definitely wouldn’t buy it for a school/concert setting

My band played All Things So Wondrous by him last year at the Midwest Clinic

What is your favorite piece by William Owens?

1st to comment also great

I am a director of a band in Honduras and I am interested in this information

What is your favorite Michael Sweeney piece?

God he was a big part of my highschool life

Thanks for putting this out, you get a thumbs up for the 'bonus' remark

Hi Zach, I agree with your choices here, but I’d like to see a list compiled as the next level of 4 mallet solos, maybe classified as intermediate following Yellow After the Rain Thanks Alan
