We have 19 vibraphones in this school for the workshop. Can you believe it! Everyone has a practice room and a set of vibes. Really cool. We're going to get a photo with all the vibes, should be a cool photo!

The campus here is beautiful. Just practicing and walking around is a lot of fun.

Hey Everybody,

Recently we had the pleasure of Gloria Krolak amongst our membership. She has an fm radio show online that features all vibes and marimba players. I think it is mostly vibes. Anyway, she gave us some info in a post about her show, which happened to be tonight (Sunday) and Wednesday. I listened in and sure enough her show is a treat.

Everybody eating lunch after the first workshop.

There's a great bunch of players from the Delaware workshop! And here they say hello!

This is a basic arrangement for vibes or marimba of the popular jazz standard "Afternoon in Paris". It demonstrates a couple different ways to accompany a melody - using a counter line or a block chord. It also employs a simple pedal point for the left hand during the bridge.

A PDF of the arrangement can be downloaded HERE. So print down a copy and try it out!

Ted...

hi!

I just realised that the vibes have one more advantage beside the cool sound, the cool attitude, the excluiveness and the fact that vibesplayers get all the chicks: you can play it with a baby wrap! no way of doing this with a guitar!

So folks get youself a set of vibes - the chick and eventually an offsping might follow BUT you can still play!

Cheers Stefan
