You should learn the version transcribed by Griffin8er, it has both marimba parts put togeather so its a little bit harder but you can do it because i did. I decided to learn the garden for solo ensemble with 2 months left which was a bad idea but i managed to get down the whole thing. Except for those ninelets at the end that was super hard but keep up the good work its definetly possible you posted this 4 months ago so id imagine youve progressed alot since then
Good stuff bro. I just wanna point out to be careful about how you’re playing. I notice in the video that your pointer fingers are curled in a lot. This is bad as it tells me that you are tense which is a no no when you’re playing marimba. So make sure your pointer fingers point outward (When doing it right, you are able to touch your fingertips together when you put your hands together). Another thing is your thumb, when you did that large interval at the end, you put your thumb on the side of the shaft. It’s okay to cheat once in a while if you’re SCV and you’re playing sixteenth notes in octaves, but you should aim for keeping that thumb on top of the mallet shaft the whole time. This will allow for better control when playing. I would suggest reading “Method of Movement” by Leigh Howard Stevens. It is a book about Stevens grip. I hope this helps. Keep it up!
Well even if your playing 16th note octave runs, if you bring the butt off the inside mallet to the webbing between your fingers you should never have to "cheat" as it is just a lot more stable
Not bad, keep it up

Thanks a lot for the tips! I've gotten better since this video but this really helps 👍
