Yuri Inoo Percussion

Happy in Percussion! We all know has written countless pieces and has been a great leader and role model of the percussion community. Impressions on Wood, 10 Four-Mallet Marimba Solos for the Intermediate Marimbist, is my absolute favorite book to use in lessons (all of my students can confirm 😆). Take the words from Dr. Michael Gould: “(the book) has filled in a much-needed body of repertoire…These works introduce technical challenges while maintaining beautiful, lyrical melodies and form. It is nice to see a book that contains a logical and well-conceived pedagogical approach while adding to the marimba literature base.” Here is a short clip of “Salsa Verde” from this book, performed by .noise ( Jessica Cameron and myself). We love playing this piece💚
Thank you Julie for creating such a through, fun book in addition to so many works for percussion💖
