Here's me playing Blue Bossa for jl12 here at the online school. I thought I would post it for everybody. I tried to play very simple, and i shot the camera from above to see if that would be helpful.
Here's an etude I wrote out for a student a while back. We were exploring Latin Rhythms on the vibes. It's a little tricky.
Here's a slightly difficult etude that will really work on your independence. The left and right hand is separate for the whole tune. That is they work totally independently.
Here's my arrangement of Green Dolphin Street. It's an etude that explores three parts of playing the vibes, chordal playing, chordal playing and soloing and also single line soloing.
Here's the button to start private lessons. Make sure you check with me first and make sure I'm accepting students. Thanks!
Once you subscribe I'll get a notice and then we'll set up the first lesson.
I think of online lessons like this. We should meet once or twice a month. In addition we'll do stuff via the private lesson area that you'll see set up once I get the notice. There we can make assignments and work on stuff. It's pretty simple and works well.
Ahhh, welcome to the first etude of the Friedman book. You're about to embark on a really great journey!
Ways to practice scales.

Chinese translation for Chinese students
第一件事，如果你要打8度上行，可以試著打到第九音在下行，這樣聽起來比較悅耳。
再來可以練習小調，Dorian（大調降3,7）, 旋律小音階Melodic minor scale。
等到你熟了一點後，可以打在不同的調上，可以用半音轉調練各種不同調，或是用四度轉調。
Here is a way to practice the blues. Be strict about it... You'll see.

藍調音階，需要很重視語法（phrases），也就是怎樣組成個音階才像blues的語彙。
F blues scale: F Ab Bb B C Eb F
練習方法（in F key）：
先打F and C, 製造一個固定低音的聲響(set a pedal)。再開始即興F blues scale。
先記好每個音中間的音程（Intervals），也就是熟記這個音階。
練習方式：
你可以用問與答的方式自己玩即興。
另一個練習方式，每個小節第一拍第一個音敲擊根音。其他二、三、四拍即興。
常見的藍調曲式：四小節F（一級）>兩小節Bb （四級）>兩小節Ｆ（一級）>一小節 C （五級）> 一小節Bb（四級） > 兩小節F（一級）

This is a GREAT Exercise!! I refer to an audio lesson you can listen to also. AND there's a PDF attached to this lesson, you should see it below.
