Product details
'This kit has been a long time coming and indeed it took COVID-19 for me to prioritise the creation of it. My bread and butter as a percussionist is composer/performer collaborations so it felt timely for me to attempt to articulate to composers how to write for my favourite percussion instrument - the 5 octave marimba. The Marimba is an unusual instrument in that most composers (regardless of age or experience) do not understand how to write for it. I think this might be because it is generally not taught in orchestration classes (not being a traditional orchestral instrument of course). Through the kit, I hope to be able to arm composers with a solid knowledge of how the instrument works physically as well as some tips for their own compositions' Claire Edwardes.
