[@louise_truth1240]

Damn your good at marimba as and 8th grader. Try learning prelude number 1 it’s a pretty difficult piece I would say.

[@ale_isanodd1]

This is hands down the most enjoyable piece for marimba I've ever heard. I've not played it yet, but I think I'm gonna' give it an extracurricular try.

[@POVMarimba]

Thanks everyone. Glad you enjoyed it

[@sillygoober0000]

I'm learning this piece as an eighth grader right now and it's a lot of fun :) it's my first 4 mallet piece so it's definitely taking some getting used to, but it's definitely worth it. I literally love marimba so much

[@POVMarimba]

That’s awesome. I have a Masterclass on my channel that you can check out for more tips and tricks.

[@robbyhale4756]

What grade is this 4 or 5

[@POVMarimba]

Robby Hale it’s actually more like a grade 3 now a days. I’m sure you would find it as grade 4 though.

[@dustinpruitt5373]

Robby Hale it’s a grade 5, it’s eligible to go to state when played at S&E or I&E

[@POVMarimba]

Dustin Pruitt wow. I didn’t know it was that high. Good to know though. I think at some point they redo the grading system

[@dustinpruitt5373]

POV Marimba yeah I think it’s because of the 4 mallets, plus having to do rolls at 8ths and 9ths as well as different rhythms that come out to be polyrhythms but a little bit more challenging, but honestly depending on the state it could possibly even be a completely different grading scale. I know in Florida it’s a 5 but who knows it could be a 5 everywhere.

[@KieranDurand]

​@@POVMarimba yeah, Florida even has Yellow after the rain rated a 5

[@ShockzG5]

What mallets are these?

[@POVMarimba]

Marimba one Wave Wrap no 2

[@Luv-y0]
