Program Notes

Almost There by Jessica Flannigan is a medium-level marimba solo that combines technical study with a memorable musical framework. Built around the development of double lateral strokes, the piece pairs a flowing melodic line with a persistent off-beat accompaniment pattern, helping performers strengthen four-mallet coordination while balancing technical precision with expressive shaping.
