(I thought I had posted this a couple of days ago, but I don't see it on the board. My apologies if this ends up being a "double posting.") Is your xylophone student looking to perform with other percussionists, or players of other instruments? If it's mixed instrumentation, I'd suggest checking out your school's music library for woodwind trios, quartets, etc. (the Baroque period would be a good place to start). Just have your xylophonist play a "concert" part, such as the flute or oboe. (If your student is truly dedicated, you might assign a clarinet part and require her to transpose it from Bb to concert.) This sort of approach will present the opportunity to teach your xylophonist how to phrase (and how to roll musically!), and introduce her to music she might not otherwise get to play as a percussionist.
