All lessons from our Chords & Harmony Festival of Fall 2011... enjoy! :o)
I really don't post too much in this blog, so here is a shorty on what we're doing at this moment at vanderPlas Baileo.
We started to have montly clinics at our facility in Sassenheim, generally every first Saturday of the month. This basically is a smaller version of the one and only annual vibesworkshop.com workshop week in Februari. Our first one was held October 1st, and about 12 percussionists showed up. Lots of fun.
As you may have noticed, we have come up with the DIYframe, a highly affordable solution for those who need a second frame for their bars and resonators.
Maybe you guys already saw this before (Marciac 2007). Dana sent it to me yesterday: love it!! :o)
Gary? Are you both still sharing that kind of fun moment on stage? ;-)
Hi All,

I'll post more about the show in a few weeks.
Here's a lesson on breaking up chords, and leaving notes out.
For this month's "chords and harmony" topic I've written up an article focusing on tensions and several ways to use them effectively when comping. Some of the areas discussed include:
Hope you find it helpful.
