Xylophone and Vibraphone for Beginners

This book is designed to be used by beginner Xylophone and Vibraphone players. All the pieces have a limited range of note durations from eighth note to whole note, together with their respective rests, and they are in major and minor keys with amaximum of one accidental.

This ensures a gradual introduction to the world of tuned percussion. All melodies are either classical themes or else are taken from American popular music. For all duets (Xylophone/Vibraphone) the Xylophone part is also transposed for both B Flat and E Flat instruments to enable music-making with other instrumentalists. Trios and Quartets facilitate the formation of first percussion ensembles.
