TOTM - Green Dolphin Street - Modal Practice

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和You Don't Know What Love Is。我們做了很多這兩首曲子的影片教學,我已經說過很多關於這首歌,所以我有可能重複說些東西,但這真的是一首很值得學習的曲子,以下有兩個原因,第一點是因為曲子的前半都是調式音階(Modal),曲子的另一半不是。但是其實所有東西都是調式,但是這首Green Dolphin Street 的前一半絕對是調式音階(~Music~)。

hip and back pain when playing vibraphone? Changing pedal technique

Hello all –

I was born with bad hips and as age I've had to become a bit more creative :-)

I was wondering if any vibe players ever have had hip and back pain while playing? I have found pedaling with my left foot and alternating with my right foot seems to help… Yes, unorthodox but I can make music.

Does anyone else have any tricks?

Sept 24 Blog from Ireland

I'm in Ireland and did two very different gigs. The first one pissed me off for musical reasons.

I think of playing my instrument as partly a job. Meaning I have to be proficient at what I do and competent. I want to be great but first I have to make sure I'm competent and proficient. Can't be great without that part! I get upset when musicians are not competent. It pisses me off. Of course I know there are sometimes when I haven't been competent. So I've been guilty of this in my life.
