Mallets & Music: A Guide to Four Mallet Marimba is a new method book designed to help you get started with playing four mallet marimba. It uses a combination of straightforward explanations, high resolution pictures, an easy to access video library, and a collection of music commissioned specifically for the developing marimbist. The guide features straightforward step by step instructions for learning the Stevens technique along with each of the different stroke types. Over 65 exercises will help you develop your skills to play any of the ten new pieces commissioned for this book. Mallets & Music features original music by world renowned performers and composers (Michael Burritt, Blake Tyson, Ivan Trevino, Aaron Staebell, Elliot Cole, Robert Honstein, Jennifer Bellor, Baljinder Sekhon, Matthew Curlee, Drew Worden) that were commissioned specifically for this book. Each composer has a unique style that will present you with new challenges, ideas, and experiences. The music is suitable for those who are just getting started using four mallets as well as musicians that have years of experience. Each piece of music is also accompanied by exercises that were inspired by their corresponding solo. These exercises will help you learn the technical aspects of each piece of music in order to help you learn them quickly and efficiently. In addition to music composed by world renowned composers and performers, Mallets & Music features over two hours of easily accessible videos. Using the camera on your smartphone or tablet, you will be able to use a QR code scanner to instantly access videos from the Mallets & Music YouTube channel. In the early chapters, the videos feature explanations and demonstrations of the techniques found within the corresponding chapter. In the later chapters, each piece of music has a corresponding video. These videos consist of a complete, live performance of the piece along with a brief lesson discussing techniques, practice strategies and musical considerations. You'll never have to search for a recording and you'll always have some help getting started.

An important resource in many areas of music is the availability of standardized graded databases of literature for solo instruments. These databases provide a progression of technical abilities that help musicians follow a proper path in developing new skills. Currently in the area of percussion, there are no graded databases for solo vibraphone literature. While there are several sources that contain subjective graded music lists, none of these sources have a standardized approach in defining each of their difficulty levels, and this creates contradicting information for particular pieces. The goal of this research is to present the first standardized and systematic approach to grading the difficulty levels of vibraphone literature. Influenced by pianist Jane Magrath's reference guide of piano teaching literature and percussionist Julia Gaines' research project on marimba repertoire, this research is modeled on Gaines' objective analysis document used to grade marimba literature with ten different levels of difficulty. With the exception of dampening and pedaling, all of the technical aspects required for playing the vibraphone remain the same as the marimba. Because musical considerations are subjective in nature, only the quantifiable technical considerations are used for grading each work in an objective manner. The technical difficulty of original unaccompanied four-mallet solo vibraphone literature is assessed through the analysis of stroke speed, interval size, wrist turns, manual changes, independence, dampening, and pedaling. Each piece's grade will be classified based on the highest level of technical difficulty found in the music. The selection of vibraphone literature for this research comes from pieces found on prescribed state music lists and university handbook recommendation lists. Annotations are included to describe the pieces that are particularly mislabeled, and a discussion regarding the performance challenges that each piece presents are offered. Three annotations from each of the ten difficulty levels contain a justification based on the results recorded in the analysis document. With an extensive graded database containing over one hundred seventy vibraphone pieces listed in the appendix, this resource will assist percussion students and educators in selecting appropriate vibraphone literature to study and perform within a proper progression from one work to another.
