Together, Raymond and Carol Helble have contributed much to the field of percussion. As a composer, Raymond's percussion catalog ranges from ensemble works to collaborations with Leigh Howards Stevens, and recently a piece for marimba virtuoso Theodor Milkov.
Carol Helble organizes MMPAT: Mid-Missouri Percussion Arts Trophy. It began 10 years ago as a local marimba competition, but now includes categories for other percussion instruments, too. Each year she invites a soloist and clinician - in 2018 that will be Ji-Hye Jung.
