As you already know, I am not a 'world-class professional' in marimba and I don't consider myself to be up there with any of the legendary players (not even close!). I just like playing marimba - so if you want more professional advice I highly recommend seeking out lessons with reputable percussion educators :)

Thank you for watching my first attempt at a #SpeedReadChallenge! Let me know down below if you've ever had to learn a piece in a short amount of time! Anyway, as mentioned in the video, all the techniques I used to learn this Bach quickly are available in my FREE PDF on 'How to Learn and Practice ANY Marimba Solo': www.adamtanpercussion.com/download :) #TheStudioFamily

@MichalBobak259 5 лет назад

I had concert 23.09 (18:00h). Concert with vocalist. 33 songs to accomp with various percussion. Conductor change his mind and send me sheets 22. 09 (21:00h) for song called Under the sea in GES - MAJOR. I had to play solo in this piece. It was challenge for me but everything was so good. My girlfriend told me: "everything will be ok" and I played one of best concert ever!

Ahahaha what a coincidence! It's such a great piece to play and listen to though....

@anthonyrodill9765 5 лет назад

Yeah. Also, this is probably one of the few recordings I’ve heard of this prelude that include the Schwencke measure in it (measure 23). Not sure if you’re familiar with that but I just thought I’d point it out.

@pjm4w 5 лет назад

Have you played through a lot of the Cello Suites/Violin Sonatas & Partitas? You should do a video or series on interpretation on the marimba or even just a recorded performances of them! I'm looking into applying to grad school in a few years and Bach always seems to come up for auditions. I've done a couple of the cello preludes and there always seems to be two schools of thinking, either "sound more like a cello" or "you're playing a marimba, play it like a marimba" and to honest, I'm not sure what they want to hear in grad school auditions ahaha

@AdamTanPercussion 5 лет назад

I have played most of violin partita no. 2 as well as one movement of sonata no. 1 before. I love playing them and you are so right - interpretation on all the Bach's are so varied! I think the first way of 'sound more like a cello' is more correct, because 'play it like a marimba' implies that the piece was written and designed for marimba which it's clearly not ahahaha

@johnd.4536 5 лет назад

Nice playing Try the first cello prelude in G or for the toughest go right to the Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin.

@katelynnoelle5729 5 лет назад

Will you learn Bach’s violin concerto in a minor? It’s created for violin, but they made a version of it for marimba.

@AdamTanPercussion 5 лет назад

Hey man! I'd suggest Method of Movement as the first technique book if you are looking for four mallet. George Hamilton Green xylophone rags are good for working on note reading!

@philcataldo2255 5 лет назад

Hey Adam, thanks so much for another great video :). Quick question: Assuming you live in an apartment, do you ever get noise complaints and if so, how do you deal with that? (This is also assuming your studio is in your home). Thanks in advance!

@AdamTanPercussion 5 лет назад

Thank you Philip! I don't live in an apartment, my studio is actually in a commercial building :) I have never had a noise complaint because I'm pretty strict with my 'no noise before 5pm' rule - and it helps that I met my neighbours in good faith and told them on my first day here that I make some noise after 5pm. They were cool about it! If you are in a residential area, then I know a lot of people like to remove the resonators of their marimba to cut the sound! But yes I think respect is the first step to getting time on the instrument no matter where you are haha

@michaele.canete4968 5 лет назад

I had to learn a solo piece for the first time last December In Two weeks during break. Hungarian Dance No. 5. To my surprise, I learned the whole piece in two days time. All together probably a few hours but spread into two days. I’m really proud of myself and there is this event at the end of the month. I’m debating on learning this piece. Problem is the I don’t know how to play with 4 mallets. So I do t know what to do. Help?? And thank you!

@AdamTanPercussion 5 лет назад

That is amazing man! Wait how did you learn the piece if you didn't know how to play with 4 mallets :o

@doritobandito_1323 5 лет назад

for marching band and percussion ensemble it takes me a minimum of 15 minutes to learn my part and a maximum of like 2 hours

@AdamTanPercussion 5 лет назад

2 hour maximum is still pretty good!!!

@w.tibbsclemens636 5 лет назад

So this only works if you're REALLY good at sight reading.. so how do you increase your sight reading speed?

@AdamTanPercussion 5 лет назад

The method remains the same even if you think your sight reading isn't that good yet :) the best way to increase your sight reading speed is to continually sight read after all, I did a lot of sight reading of easy piano music (one to two lines max) when I first started marimba and it pays off after a while!

@matthewmeunier 5 лет назад

Hey Adam! Question for you -- if you hadn't given yourself the 1 hour time limit to learn the piece, about how long would you have spent on a solo like this Without the time restraint?

@AdamTanPercussion 5 лет назад

Thanks for watching Matthew! I would have probably spent at least 2 hours, or at least to the point where I could play the whole thing memorised. I like to reach memorisation level with everything I learn for 'serious' performances haha

@Andy251153 5 лет назад

Hey adam, this isn't super on topicI remember you mentioning that you do something different with your steven's grip. But when I watch it just seems like it's just normal steven's grip. What's different?

@AdamTanPercussion 5 лет назад

Ah right! Well I guess my grip is fundamentally stevens, but I do a lot of things that aren't 'technically correct'. For example my thumb placement on the inside mallet is not very good, and I hold the outside mallet a bit too high up as well. So I've never wanted to call my stevens grip the normal kind because someone will say it's wrong hahahaha

I thought you were going to learn something hard, sorry. I don't want to come across as disparaging but I stopped the video at three minutes because I don't think you could have picked an easier Bach prelude. I don't want to discredit your ability as a musician, because I'm sure you're an excellent player, but this was a poorly chosen piece for this kind of video challenge for a professional musician.

@AdamTanPercussion 5 лет назад

@@ChrisChapin_chapes I appreciate the feedback man and you are definitely NOT a prick haha! I agree that it's a pretty easy piece for an intermediate+ player. However I'm also reminded daily by my students and peers alike to reevaluate what 'easy' means, because different people find different things easy and hard so I didn't want to make it seem like this piece was 'too easy' for me - it was more to prove a point that you can learn things more efficiently with the right approach :)
