Many of these pieces have been standard marimba literature for decades. -------------------- moderator, mallet forum Post Extras:       JoeRPorter Tiger Talk Trainee Reged: Sep 19 2007 Posts: 28 Loc: Canada Re: Question on ranges of a few marimba solos [Re: James Walker]       #40751 - Fri Nov 09 2007 12:44 PM (70.65.172.113) Edit   Reply   Quote   Quick Reply   I'll actually have to be doing alot of those songs for the studio course. I usually have too many questions to ask him and he has too little time so alot of question i tend to post on forums that I don't think I need a private lesson for. I appreciate all the help that you've done for me James, thanks a ton! -------------------- Percussion Performance Major at University of Lethbridge Alberta, Teacher : Adam Mason Post Extras:       Pages: 1
