Hey everyone. This is a video where I play If I were a bell at the 2013 vibesworkshop in Wuppertal.

Enjoy!

I'm working on a new project with a couple of singers. My objectives are to:
1. Keep it simple - let the vocal have center stage.
2. Stay out of the singer's way.

You need to be continually aware of the singer's notes and try to either match or compliment them. I've got one or two more tunes to record and I should have enough to bundle it all up into a new CD!

Free Impro to start the study session trying to connect and develop ideas.

Hi all,
As vibist we all have to solve the problem of not staying alone, mainly because our instrument is ignored by others musicians. We have to make things happen, we have no choice.
Here is what I did :
3 years ago I noticed a place available to cultural associations for a very low rental fee. Then I asked the association I work for to put an option for the following year. Last year I opened a "musical meeting / improvisation" class for good level-amateur-musicians with the same problem as mine : people in search of oportunities of playing music.

This is from our sister site, www.trumpetworkshop.com. I should put up more stuff from there as I think it's good stuff! Joe is a great player and teacher!

He's great huh?

Hi All,

I've been asked to provide the Vibraphone segment of my states "Day of Percussion" here in Australia for the Percussive Arts Society. I was wondering if anyone had ideas, topics, questions about vibraphone, playing, technique etc that you think would be cool to have covered in my workshop.
