We will end our winter workshop with a streaming vibe hang featuring, David Friedman, Matias Haus, Matthias Goebel, Tony Miceli and some of the guys from the workshop.

It will take place at 6pm Germany time, Central European Time (CET) +0100 UTC . This should be a lot of fun and we hope you can come support all the members of the workshop!

I will post the link some time soon. Check back here before the hang starts.

hey guys,

tonymiceli@gmail.com is my email
post@matthiasgoebel.com is matthias'

Find me on skype: Tony miceli Philadelphia, PA maybe my name on their is tjazzvibe? but you'll find me.

For our subscribers get together WEDENESDAY: How about we meet at 5pm at the school. We can hang and play for a bit and then get something to eat together.

Ok so something cool happened. I've been working on Paganini's Moto Perpetuo for a long time now. Not to play in public just to work on my chops. I've learned the first 3 pages. Ok....

So I would play it over and over, work on technical stuff. It's a great piece to practice because it's a chops builder. It's better then doing scales for me (not that you should stop practicing scales). But I would play it, lose my concentration, have to start over. start playing it slowly and building up speed. But I never felt great about it.

Hey everyone!

I've been working hard on this TOTM, and it'd be really cool now to work on it with a virtual group. Tony wants to put together a FREE Skype lesson on harmony, but we need another two or three of you to make it happen. Who wants to jam with me???

Play your vibes!

Another great month went through: working hard and fun on our TOTM 'How Deep Is The Ocean', testing our first online lesson, setting the last details for our upcoming Winter European Working near Dusseldorf. Also read about our first Kickstarter project and be a part of it!

WINTER EUROPEAN WORKSHOP!

Some of us will join Tony and David for lots of fun at the Mallet Institute… only for the vibraphone near Dusseldorf. Be sure to be on the site between 21st -24th of February… and don’t miss the vibe hang on Sunday 24th!

Hi everyone,

I've been starting to notice more and more people posting and asking questions. Please keep it coming!

When you post questions, this is a very big help for Tony, myself, and the other guys posting lessons on the site. Sometimes, it's hard for us to come up with ideas for lessons, and many times, the questions in posts gives us ideas for topics.

Even if you feel shy and don't want to post your playing, ask questions! This is a big help for us! Thanks!

So I'm thinking Facebook, college professors, my friends, members of VW. Where else should I be hitting to get the word out about this project.

Do you guys have any ideas??

I'm thinking I need a team of people to help me with this kickstarter project. So I'm asking if anyone has any time to help the project.

Is anyone interested in really helping us get the word out? It will take about an hour a week of your time.

In return if you help, I'll send you mp3s of my 2 latest CDs (not out yet), The Jost Project and the one with Diane Monroe. And I'll send you a pair of my mallets. That's about all I can really afford to do.

Hi there,

"free housing" means you will have a sleepover by friends of mine or students from the university.
It doesn´t mean, you will have your own private suite, shower, roomservice and others :D
...are you familiar with couch-surfin´???

For all who are still interested please let know, I´m tryin´ to get you in:)
So far it´s:
Andru, Dimitri, Israel, Hauke, Stefan, right?
@ Marie: which dates shall book the hotel for?

All the best and looking forward to see all of you,

Matthias

Anyone interested. Don't do it if you don't want to. No pressure. But I'm looking for three intermediate players who want to try a group lesson on How Deep is the Ocean.
