TOTM - Green Dolphin - More on Chords Chords Chords

This is being translated for Chinese students.

歡迎來到www.vibesworkshop.com,我們正在討論我們的每月一曲Green Dolphin Street。我之前講過如何交互演奏和弦以及和弦音,是一種可以練和弦配置的好方法,我喜歡用四分音符來練習,我覺得這是一種很好的方式來練習拍子(Time),因為你需要打和弦最上面的音也就是弦律,所以這也是很好練習聽力(Ears)的方式。我之前是在打和弦及和弦音的交互演奏,等你練好那之後,試著練習和弦及和弦交互演奏,或著兩種方式混在一起練。 所以如果我打(~Music~)現在!可以用經過和弦(Passing Chord),阿~我這邊有點打錯。(~Music~)是不是個很好的練習?如果你把速度加快練習,練好你就可以做到很多事。(~Music~)。所以我剛剛試著把和弦打在任意地一拍上,你可以發現有很多東西可以練,這樣的練習很刺激,如果你一直打下去不要停,你會拿到成績A,重點就是在保持速度不要停。而且你可以在裡面自己創造不同東西。(~Music~)。

歡迎來到www.vibesworkshop.com,我們正在討論我們的每月一曲Green Dolphin Street還有 You Don't Know What Love Is. 我現在來研究Green Dolphin Street,我們要來做的事是很好應用在Green Dolphin Street中的,也就是學習如何在旋律上配和聲,以下是我以前都是這麼練,第一我要先聽熟這首曲子(~Music~),你聽到這首曲子了嗎?好!所以接下來我要做的事是我第一拍先打和弦(~Music~)一、二、三、四... (~Music~)這樣我就有很多時間去思考拍子、和弦配置(the voice),這是一首很好做這個練習的曲子(~Music~),我就是每拍都打和弦還有和弦音,這是個很簡單的練習,但是非常非常有用!如果你練起來了,而且加快速度打,可以訓練自己立刻打出一些非常有趣有好聽的和弦配置,所以如果我這樣(~Music~)。一開始要放慢速度,所以你可以在這其中找到一些和弦與和弦間的循環(~Music~),就是這樣!好!這是個非常簡單的一課。

Promoting the European Vibraphone-Festival & Workshop 2016

Hello to everyone:

Check it out this video where I accompanied one of my students during a lecture to promote in Spain the “IV Workshop de Improvisación e Vibráfono” and the “European Vibraphone-Festival & Workshop 2016". When one my students (called Sergio, 14 years old) watched the duet of David Frideman and Tony Miceli playing "Samba de Orfeo" and he did not stop to ask me if he could prepare, so, this is part of the performance recorded by the audience.

歡迎來到vibesworshop.com,這是“每月一曲”時間,這個月我們要學 Green Dolphin Street和You Don't Know What Love Is。此時,我們已經練習這兩首曲子很久了,甚至已經超過一個月,我要問的是,你知道這兩首曲子的弦律嗎?最近我告訴我很多學生,如果你可以走到樂器前面然後就(演奏出 Green Dolphin Street美妙旋律)如果你沒辦法演奏這個曲子的旋律,你就是不懂這首曲子。對我來說這是第一步:你能夠演奏出旋律嗎?所以考慮到這點,當你每次在練習“每月一曲”時,你要確定,你能夠演奏出曲子的旋律。然後,我說過這件事五百次,你在演奏旋律的同時,要把旋律處理得非常乾淨並且在拍子上,這樣也能順便增進你的技巧。不要覺得你學習這個旋律沒有用,你要想的是,你有沒有把這個東西(弦律)處理好?如果你把旋律處理好,等於你學到了很大部分的東西。
