來聽聽這些鐵琴手的演奏，然後選一個你最喜歡的，並且想想為什麼喜歡。然後繼續找別的你喜歡的鐵琴手，慢慢建立清單。
Mike演奏時非常有音樂性，注意他的棒法，非常特別。
Gary是鐵琴中非常重要的人物，去看看他年輕時演奏的影片，這個影片是1960年代拍的，至今已經快60年了，還是沒有人能超越他。
Here's something to work on before I see you all.
Hey Taiwan students, if you're new to the vibraphone, watch Chien Chien's series on Dampening you will find it here.

Practice this and make sure you can dampen at least a C major scale.
在台灣營隊開始之前，先練習 C 大調音階的止音技巧。
I've been going back and doing some curating here.
Although the quality is not great, here's a whole series on Stella. I think it's worth going through while you work on the tune!

You need to know your scales and each scale or mode should have a sound you recognize.
Here is a whole section for each mode of the major scale!
Study it hard so you can recognize these scales.

Modes of the Major Scale
Here's another classic from the same session in Palermo, Sicily as Poor Butterfly, which I posted a week or so ago, with Monty Alexander, Ray Brown and Grady Tate. Pay particular attention to the dynamic range within each phrase of Milt's playing both in the head and his solo. Not only is the articulation of each note clear and specific, but there is a flowing rhythm created by mixing dry and "wet" (pedaled) notes. Therein lies a lesson for all of us. Enjoy, and Happy New Year to all.
A lovely song that works great as in so many ways.
My student Dan Neville is an amazing student. He works his butt off. I'm really happy and proud to be working with him.
Check out here how he's working on a tune:

Hi All,
As I write this I'm listening to Kevin Mahogany and "Just My Imagination," from his Pride & Joy album. Just Mahogany and the piano (James Weidman). I'll be playing it on my February show in his memory.
Just what it says! Dan and myself doing Little Suede Shoes.
I also put the parts on here if you want to try playing.
The metronome mark is 60 bpm. you should be able to line it up in a sequencing program. i actually used 120. Dan sent me the original file with a bpm of 60. it lines up great.
