hands!!!!

Here's an interesting interview of Ruth Underwood, the early Zappa mallet player (with Zappa's son too). I love the passionate way she speaks of the music, the composer and the development of the instrument to large bands and "loud modern" music. Btw, I didn't know Zappa was originally a percusionnist! And not more that Chester Thompson had worked with him!
Enjoy!

If you're thinking of coming to one of our workshops they are filling up. I got a call from Harvey Price that the Delaware workshop is 3/4s full!

Also the Ireland workshop is a small one and there's a few spots left there as well. Let us know if you're planning on attending so we can hold your spot!

Hi all,

Here's a new etude that focuses on mallet independence. Pdf is attached. Enjoy!

Scales & lines, chords & changes, phrasing & modes, oh my!

I feel a bit like the lion in The Wizard of Oz ;-) I have been sifting through the site for a few days and I have had some success at trying to learn online. I am a beginner and I know what I do not know, which is a start. I could use a recommendation for a book on the fundamentals of music theory as it relates to my level of (or absence of) knowledge of playing the vibes. Any suggestions?

When i saw this i was in awe!

just thought some one would want to see this. Know what if someone layed them out in a keyboard pattern to make a blow vibraphone? Like a melodica, except bottles.

Help guys. this has been a huge problem with my vibes. i have been trying to fix this problem since i got them a year ago. when i purchased it used it had this problem. so i bought a new rail because i thought that that was the problem (it was warped). the new rail seemed to work, but my vibe has started to have this problem again.
