What would be a good sight to find music for marimba? Ecspecially songs off of video games from Nintendo, like Zelda or Mario. Though I just want things to work on for fun. So please PM me where I can find some good places to get Marimba music from ecspecially Nintendo music. ^.^ Thank you!

Well I just need to know where to look for any kind of music sheet, but whatever... I don't need to overload myself because next year we are doing a show for World Of Warcraft (maybe) and my band directors are rewriting my music sheet so I can have solos in every song. I moved out of drumline into pit because I play better on any mallet instrument than anything else other than crash cymbals, so playing the marimba is basically a HUGE upgrade ^.^ It's a lot of excitement for me! So don't worry about it, but if someone does have any ideas where I can look, please PM me instead ^.^

Look for piano music and just learn the melody line. Like I know if your search for on youtube you can find quite abit of stuff on there for piano you just have to find the melody line

Okay hun dont fret, im in front ensemble and a percussion player. ive messed around alot to play songs from zelda. get on youtube and listen to performances, or hum the tune and play on the key board. If u recall the song from nintendos ocarina of time, the well or windmill that turns slowly and slowly i know how to play it biggrin

Yeah I can play by ear and all but I'd rather have the sheet music instead, because then I know I'm playing it correctly, also I have friends that can't play by ear but they can read music and I was thinking that we could do a Zelda pit thing lol, though I might look up piano music and add some cool things with it, but I need a good sight to find those piano sheet music, cuz every site I go to, I get a virus and I just want to find somewhere that won't cause me any issues

Thank you for the request!

P.S. I apologize for bad grammer and punctuation things, I'm in a hurry... ^.^

If you watch youtube videos where they play piano arrangements, a lot of the people will post links to where they found the music. Also, Zelda piano arrangements are popular and wasy to find for free.

If you take the piano arrangements you can come up with a colourful four-mallet version of anything. Its better than just playing the melody line!

I'm not a percussionist but Portland Music Co has always been immensely helpful with anything music/band related. Hope you can find something!
