Marimba Library
Included with this marimba set are books of original and arranged music for marimba ensemble. Some books are geared for the younger mallateers, but there is plenty here to challenge all ages, beginning and advanced.
This library of music for percussion ensemble includes two volumes of arrangements of traditional Zimbabwean tunes by Paul Mataruse, as well as four Leopard Percussion arrangements of pop and jazz tunes that adapt easily to a marimba group with diatonic instruments. There’s a ton of fun music to play with only 7 notes!
