So if we all join we can then experiment with google hangouts. maybe impromptu concerts, etc.!
@marie - don't forget to put this in the newsletter. yeah????
Let's focus on the TOTM's we've covered so far.
Let's also work on ways of building technique, solo playing, studying chords and all other topics you guys might have.
We'll start the day at about 10am and go till noon.
Then have lunch. Get back together at about 1:30 or 2. We'll go until about 4. Break for dinner. Come back for percussion ensemble at about 5:30. After percussion ensemble we'll hang and have a concert, or jam together.
David Friedman, Tony Miceli Behn Gillece, Anthony Smith, Matthias Goebel and Paschal Schumacher are doing an international vibesworkshop in Wuppertal..
The workshop will take place from March 5 until the 9th 2014 at the Hochschule für Musik, Bewegung und Tanz in Wuppertal. That's 5 days of mallets from morning until night!!.
The Workshop Includes:
Steve Weiss is an old friend of mine. And I've bought quite a few sets of vibes from him over the years. I think he's done a lot for the percussion world by creating the largest percussion store in the world. He's a great, crazy guy that many of us percussionists, vibe players, marimba players around the world really appreciate. So I wrote a percussion piece and named it after him! He definitely is Weiss Guy!
I just wanted to make you look. Soft mallets don't suck. Well not all the time.
I saw a great student of mine play recently. He's a great up and coming vibe player I think. I was listening to him comp and could hear nothing. I know he could hear the instrument, I get that. If HE couldn't hear the instrument and he was comping (with soft mallets) then that's not cool. But I'm sure he could.
