Marimba: Technique Through Music

Marimba: Technique Through Music guides the student through several etudes that focus on different musical applications of one specific technique. Each section of the book begins with a brief introduction to a specific stroke followed by graduated etudes that utilize that stroke. In this manner, the student will become confident with these basic strokes and their application to musical expression on the marimba. In the supplemental DVD, author Mark Ford discusses specific marimba stroke techniques and practice tips and performs each of the book's 16 etudes.
