5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the all-time great percussion keyboard studies.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Modern School for Xylophone, Marimba and Vibraphone (Percussion) (Paperback)
I worked through this book in the late 60's while studying with Tony Cirone at San Jose State. I remembered it fondly and now that I am teaching my son mallet instruments, I am going through it again.There are many newer xylophone books out and several that lead to a higher level of difficulty, but no other combines the studies of technique, repertoire and musicality like Modern School for Xylophone... This is THE book all mallet players should master before anything else.

A mallet percussion must!!!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Modern School for Xylophone, Marimba and Vibraphone (Percussion) (Paperback)
This book is great for working towards building mallet excellence. I am a high schooler and have recently discovered this masterpiece and I have done nothing but grow stronger in my mallet technique since the exercises have become regulars in my work-out progression.

This book has a variety of music that is a pleasure to play!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Modern School for Xylophone, Marimba and Vibraphone (Percussion) (Paperback)
When I first bought this book, I was looking for it for one reason: becuase it was inexpensive and had a solo that I was interested in playing. But boy, it is good for a whole lot more than that. It has 2- 4 mallet parts that are fun to learn, and each have their own "spunk" in them!! I highly recommend this book for intermediate and professional mallet players!!
