Averticals 7/6 Keyboard Exercise: Editable Sibelius File

Averticals 7/6 is a short, odd-meter 4-mallet exercise designed to develop left-hand accuracy, interval control, and rebound consistency.

This editable Sibelius file is identical to the free PDF—but gives you full control to adapt the reps, tweak intervals, or tailor the exercise to your students’ skill level and instrument setup.

Perfect for directors and techs building odd-meter control into their mallet technique packets.

What’s included:

  • Editable Sibelius (.sib) file
  • Written for marimba or vibraphone (playable on any 4-mallet instrument)
  • Includes optional bass guitar part for ensemble coordination
  • Alternates between 7/8 and 6/8 time for rhythmic training

Why educators love it:

  • Teaches double vertical control with narrow intervals
  • Builds rhythmic fluency in non-duple time
  • Easy to customize for individual or group use
