So I was just thinking...

This weekend Tony is organizing a Virtual Day of Percussion featuring the vibraphone. It sounds like it'll be great, but I think the real success will come from how many extra people we- the vibes community- get to participate. At the World Vibes Congress we talked about how important it is for us to promote this instrument, and the VDOP is a perfect opportunity to do that. Unfortunately I won't catch any of the VDOP because of another event, but I'm doing what I can to spread the word and get people to check it out. Here are some ideas:

Practicing solo vibraphone on Alone Together. Here is Take 3 out of three takes. This version has more of an emphasis on counterpoint and more active left hand accompaniment techniques.

Other Takes:

Take 1: This is a fairly brief two chorus version that includes right hand octaves along with left hand accompaniment and pedal point in the bridge of the 2nd chorus.

Another Lesson with ideas for mixing up practice of scales. This one is an idea for the diminished scale.

far from perfect but at least i wanted to post a final of the work i invested in the scrapple from the apple...goal was for me to play it in time and put some double stops in the melody and play it solo vibes.

Check out my solo in All the things you are. Another great sunday today where we hang out with tony and other uarts students!
