Hi Guys.

I'm playing this Haydn Divertimento for a technical exam at uni. I want to see what people think about how to do this trill, as 3 mallets are already taken up with the chord played at the same time....All help is appreciated!!!!!

Cheers,
James

Hi vibes players!

One day I was practicing scales and I thought: "all the work with scales, areas, voicings, etc, in vibes is about making pictures in the keyboard!" then I said: "If I know the picture well all the rest is easy", ergo "I can study scales with the pictures!".

This next file is collection of most scales, for practicing in vibes without vibes (train, night, library...) or to have near the vibes when you are practicing.

I don't know if it really works, at least is an experiment, hope is helpfull!

I have an extra computer, so i'm going to try and set up and use the camera on the computer. Just for fun!!!

So if you're around tune in.

I'd love to hear what other people do when they rehearse their bands. I'd especially like to hear about rehearsals with Frank Zappa (if anyone at VW has any experience with that). I heard he rehearsed a lot. I'd also like to hear about rehearsals with "local" bands and rehearsals that David Friedman, Gary Burton and Tony conduct when traveling, and anyone who is doing "professional" rehearsals who is paying their members for their time.
