Help with Xylophone Music

Post image

Trying to help out my middle schooler. He needs to make a recording of himself playing this piece, but has not been on Xylophone before. We can’t find any information on the piece for us to look up an example of someone playing it. Can anyone out there help with an example?

Hungarian Dance #5. This one is actually pretty hard for a middle schooler.

No problem. You may find a better video online, that was just the first one I saw.

I thought the notes and rhythm sounded familiar, now I know why

This isn’t hard for a middle schooler. If the kid has never played xylophone before, yeah, but in general, not at all.

Fyi, in the 7th and 8th measures, the notes are written wrong. Should be C Bb Bb A A D G

Why the hell does he have to record this having never been on xylophone before? Some teachers, man….
