Marimba Solo?
Hi I'm a junior in high school, im looking for a solo to play. I'm not sure what I want to play but I know the type of solo I want. I really want to play a solo like land by muramtsu or wind by chin Cheng Lin. Difficulty doesn't really matter, I just finished learning evergreen and I thought it was pretty easy to give you a reference. I want the solo to be a five octave solo that is extremely beautiful but also pretty hard and is kinda like wind and land. I know it's specific but I really want to play a solo like this! Thank you so much!

No mention of a private professional teacher (professional mallet percussionist) with whom you have been studying seriously and continuously for a long time. This leads us to think that you are self-teaching here. Never good. Never. You can either scour graded lists from mallet percussion societies - or you can find a good teacher - who will locate the solo you wish WHEN you are ready - and teach you the skills to play it. What you SAY you can play does not matter, unless it is heard by someone in a professional position to assess you.
