An Excellent Mallet Method Book
This primer on mallet-playing instruments such as the xylophone and marimba is perhaps the best of all the how-to-play mallet method books.

It contains illustrations of mallet holding, and a detailed explanation of the keys and treble cleft scale. It also contains excellent practice pieces and compositions and sections where students can practice creating compositions.

A CD comes with the book that plays every lesson in the book so you know how the practice session or piece should sound.

It is rare to find schools for mallet-playing if you don't want take college courses and you are way too old to be in elementary school band. This book does a great job of taking the place of a live instructor and teaches you how to be an pretty good musician.
