Unlock the Keyboard: Mallet Exercises That Actually Work

Stop wasting time on exercises that don’t translate to real musical growth. Unlock the Keyboard is a complete technique system designed for mallet percussionists who want real results—whether you’re preparing for auditions, teaching yourself, or just want to stop guessing what to practice.
 
🎯 What’s Included
✔️ Full 7th chord arpeggio progressions in all 12 keys
✔️ Full triad arpeggio progressions in all 12 keys
✔️ Extended Green Scale exercises in scales commonly used in mallet percussion music (Major, Natural Minor, Harmonic Minor, Melodic Minor)
✔️ Written for two-mallet technique with smart sticking, designed to feel satisfying under the hands
✔️ All exercises designed to develop chord recognition, voice leading awareness, ear training, and fluid motion across the instrument
 
🧠 These aren’t just random drills. This is a musical, kinesthetic method for learning to hear, see, and feel harmonic movement on the keyboard. Many students report it feeling more like playing an etude than drilling patterns.
 
What Musicians Are Saying

“I used to just memorize the notes without really knowing what I was playing. These exercises helped everything click—now I actually understand the chords and can feel the patterns under my hands. My confidence on mallets has gone way up.”
 
⭐ Alyse T. – High School Senior, College Auditioning
 
“Before I found this, I was second-guessing myself on every mallet etude. Working through these exercises gave me the technique and clarity I needed. I’m walking into auditions way more prepared—and way more confident.”
 
⭐ Julia D. – Middle School Percussionist
 
“I didn’t think I’d be able to play things this advanced, but the way these exercises are written made it feel possible. My band director was really impressed with how fast I improved!”
