By Nic Farris Hello, This is my 22 page marimba technique packet, with example 13 week chop out (technique) routine included. Each technique is shown in its simplest form along with examples of how to further develop with video demonstration is also available on my youtube page. I have placed a $25 price tag in hopes to pay for this website and the materials I must purchase to further produce percussion content. That said, I don't want a price tag to limit anyone from access to the information I produce. Thus, I am willing to send anyone this packet for free if they upload a video of themselves practicing marimba technique on Instagram and tag me in the post! If you do so, shoot me an email at my first name @ my last name dot org and I will gladly send you this packet free of charge. The intended audience is those looking to develop their marimba technique for marching percussion auditions. Much of this packet is influenced by my marching experience both as a member and as a teacher. My experience is as follows: Marching Experience:Dalton High School 2013-2017Georgia Tech 2017-2021Chattanooga Independent Percussion 2014-2017Equinox Percussion 2018Music City Mystique 2019-2022Spirit of Atlanta 2016-2018Bluecoats 2019-2021Teaching Experience:South East High School 2021Lambert High School 2022-2024Civitas Independent 2023-PresentMusic City 2023-PresentPrivate Lessons 2020-PresentYoutube 2022-Present I have had private lesson students make all state, Music City, Cavaliers, Bluecoats and many other groups. It is my hope that by providing this packet online will bolster the educational repository for those looking to develop their understanding of 4 mallet percussion.Art by Erin Bissonnette!
