Vibraphone performance at my wedding

Content type: Images
That's me bringing the vibes to the people at my wedding over the weekend. I did a little version of Stevie Wonder's "You and I" before the first dance. She let me buy a second instrument (M75) last year, so I think she's a keeper!

I hear some stuff similar to Walt Dickerson. I mean the out playing. The instrument does lend itself to playing a lot of crazy notes. I think when musical players do this it's great.

WHY?

I've known many good people who discount the relevance of art because it has not been explained to them in a way that they understand. Art is a quest for greatness in all forms. It sets the bar for humanity. It's the best and highest level…

Here's a two chorus line etude on Minority. Take notice of some of the diatonic phrases in the beginning. Remember that even simple ideas can really outline the chord if you end on 3rds and 7ths in the right way!

The Modes In Detail - Lydian
tonymiceli
Content type: Video Upload
Sharp the 4! Chinese Translation for Chinese students 如果拿Lydian 音階和大調（major）音階來比較，Lydian音階多了升4音。 西城故事最有名的片段，用到Lydian。在Disney音樂中也很常用到。 如果是四級大調和弦，通常會用到Lydian(因為Major #11) 例如Gmajor-Cmajor, C是G的四級，所以聲響上面還是都以G調為基礎，所以這邊的C就可以用到聲四音（#F）
