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!
Pure Imagination from Willie Wonka and The Chocolate Factory. One of my favorite songs. One of my favorite versions is from Joe with beautiful singing by Kenny Washington. Please check that out if you haven't heard that yet.
Here's Evelen Glennie playing the vibes with a symphony.
I can't figure her out. Not that I have to, but I'm very curious.
First - Check her chops out. Amazing IMHO
Listen to her sound. Amazing. Beautiful!
I'm just not understanding what she does. Listen to the last note of the piece. She's early. Is the conductor supposed to follow her? Does she hear the band? Or feel the vibrations? Was this just a mistake?
Hello Vibes Workshop members,
I'm very happy to announce that my book, "The Band Teacher's Percussion Guide: Insights into Playing and Teaching Percussion", (https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-band-teachers-percussion-gu…) has just been published by Oxford University Press.
I just started improvising on one of my favorites; Up Jumped Spring, by F.H. Can you guess who that is?
If not you'll have to do minimal research! :-) I thought it would be a nice change to start the melody in the bass.
Just thought I'd throw this out there.
Georgia - practicing some four to the bar left hand with left foot hi hats on this classic song. There were some hats in the practice room and I figured I would give it a go. Needs some work still. And I can't blame the drummer. Ha!Ha!
Although I fail all the time, I try to be open minded.
And I think when I see someone doing something I would never want to do, I'm glad they are doing it and I hope it helps the instrument in some way.
This is not what I think the vibraphone is. But again, who am I to decide what a vibraphone is and how to use it!
And I'm glad people are pushing the envelope. Get it?
