(Meredith Music Percussion). Five original solos with piano accompaniment by a multi-faceted composer/performer and historically significant mallet soloist. This set includes program notes and a composer biography. These five pieces Mallets Ala Zurke * Rag Doll Rag * Temptation Revamp * Waltz in Ragtime * and Joplin on Wood are fun to play, fun to listen to, and will surely add to any concert or recital program, as well as repertoire for solo performances of any nature. Includes a CD recording of Harry Breuer playing each piece with piano accompaniment.

These arrangements are designed to be as logistically easy as possible: The accompaniments are all playable by two performers on one 4-1/3 octave marimba, making them ideal for any situation in which space and set-up time are a constraint.

Charles Groeling is an alumnus of Evanston Township High School, class of 1947.

(Meredith Music Percussion). A complete routine of 35 lessons showing how variations and arpeggios are formed in their relation to the fundamental chord. Demonstrates application of variations, arpeggios, double-stops, and scale forms to a given melody. Also includes a thorough demonstration of the invention of ideas, adaption from the piano-part, hot choruses, rhythm effects, and more. Originally published during 1936 and 1937 as a series of lessons available by mail, this title was one of the very first jazz improvisation methods to be published for any instrument.
