Midi and other bells and whistles on the vibraphone are a waste of time and energy (in my opinion). Here's why: Synthesizer keyboards are easier to play, better made and already available in many very sophisticated forms at very low prices…

Chinese translation for Chinese students 最近這些系列的影片，都是我曾經非常努力練習的，是針對怎麼樣可以把這個樂器演奏得更好。
 這一集要講的是四棒適當的運用，因為有些學生只會用到某些棒子，
 時常提到演奏四分音符的重要性，你可以用這個方式練習（Tony示範Cmajor, Cminor） 練這個練習時，沒有嚴格的規定，只要把他打得好聽，盡量做音樂，不要當成一個無聊的練習。 

這個練習很好幫助左手的兩棒技巧，因為運用左手兩支棒子時，…

Chinese translation for Chinese students 伴奏comping的方式： 不是只能用轉位的方式，而是可以用音階是的方式， 這裡有一個練習方式：
 左手：Root+5音，2音＋3音 右手：solo 當你練越多時，會發現越多東西。 例如看到A, C, D，時，你可以放入F，聽起來可以是Cmajor 聲響。 演奏時嘗試演奏的好聽（musical），你會學到更多。

Quirky Ideas: A Way to Practice Chords and Chord Melody
tonymiceli
Content type: Video Upload
Chinese translation for Chinese students 四棒和弦式的Solo方式： 有一個重點是，要照著節奏來，數四分音符，一、二、三、四（一拍一和弦）可以速度隨意，但是要數著拍子。
 盡量保持一定的音程（interval）來練習，左手可以待著不動，移動右手比較重要。
 很多時候和聲聲響是取決於前面那個和弦，或是後面的和弦。所以要總是小心得處理每個和弦。 等到你練這個越來越好了，你可以發現很多和聲在裡面，有時後你會發現有Voice leading…
