Final Concert at the South Pole -
WHAT IS MUSIC? Music is different for different people. I’ve learned that it is not the privilege of the audience to experience an artist’s music but rather it is truly a privilege for the artist who gets…
Hey Everybody,

Christos, Stefon, Gary, Chuck (two tracks), Tim, Behn, Bobby, Hendrik, David, Arthur, Steve N., Steve S., Tony, Kym, Jay and Steve H. A collection of the exceptional…
Here is a couple of ways you can fill the space in between bars.
Those ideas could be use as harmonic or melodic device.
1. You can approach any chord with a dominant 7th chord built a half step up or down your target chord:
e.g. C can be…

Emil was one of the best percussionists ever.
If you watched Bugs Bunny cartoons you heard Emil. Most movies from 70's to the a year or so ago that used LA musicians used Emil.
And he was a very good vibe player!!!
Anyone want to add…

關於練習Ballads,
我們在之前的影片中提過保持速度感(Time),
如果在家自己練習時,我們可以保持很穩定的速度感和完整度,
在跟樂團一起演奏的時候,就可以更專注在和其他樂手的互動上了。
Tony覺得有很多事情可以思考,
1. 在演奏前奏的時候,調性就可以被確立-(示範:0:54-)
保持空間感,我們的耳朵可以聽到更多的東西。
有時候甚至只演奏一個音,和弦的進行其實就已經很明確了。…
Uh oh!!!!!!
Morgan Wallbridge is an amazing up and coming vibe player. She transcribed our performances of Joy Spring.
I would like to see some of you play the transcriptions. Who's up for it.
Each of these performances has the…
“Moon River” by Henry Mancini. Had a little time before a meeting today. An excerpt of some practicing in one of the Berklee percussion department practice rooms.
Amos,
Try and memorize the chords on the sheet music. Think about the fact that where those notes are and however they are mixed up, as long as the bass player plays the bass note, it is that chord.

I do think vibesworkshop has turned into a gold mine of information. I can say that, because I don't get all the credit. If I would have made this a site where just I was the teacher, it would have never grown into what it is.
Off the…
Back at Berklee today for registration. Happy to get back to the college after a nice break during my sabbatical. Got in early since traffic into town was a breeze and had a little time to shed on a Marimba One. This is an “on the fly” run…
This wonderful, quirky tune by Earl Zindars has been a favorite of mine for over 50 years. I used to jam on this tune in the 70's and perform it with bassist Harvie S. Although I'd been playing it off and on I never was satisfied with my…
Adapting 3+3+2 to the Balafon
Sometimes we need to step away from our primary instrument to rebuild our awareness from the ground up. I incorporate my Harmonic Time method for all the material I have learned and teach. Here is a general…
Bach Minuet in C Minor by J. S. Bach – practicing this classical piece for the purpose of dampening. These kinds of pieces are quite easy on the piano but definitely pose a challenge for the vibist in trying to maintain clarity of the…
