Hey,
I had this amazing skype lessons with Carolyn and Badu. The great thing about it is that people from all over the world can comunicate and share their interests and questions. Ofcorse Tony is a great teacher since he sees everyone as a different personality. Having that in mind it not just a chat but a real expirience of practising and learning. He also put assigments to each one. I have to practise How deep in 12 keys. It really gives you a motive to learn and practise more and more stuff.

Hallo everyone, thank you for such great time last week. You filled me up with soul, spirit, music ,... .I met so many wonderful persons and they all play vibes!!!! It was a pleasure to be your host and I hope you had a good time. I want to share video of my trio-concert from frieday with you. Have fun, I had a lot!!! looking forward to meet you all again, Matthias.

Hey everyone,

I had the great opportunity to do a Skype lesson with Tony, Dimitris, and Denis today (who knew Babu's real name was Denis...learn something new everyday!). Denis mentioned a lot of the reasons why it was cool in his post, but I want to highlight some things:

1) You don't need a camera on your computer to participate. If you only have a microphone on your computer, that's totally okay!

Hey guys, we just had (Dim, Carolyn and me) a skype lesson with Tony. All went good, sound clear.
That's fascinating to be able to meet people from several countries (USA, France, Greece in this case), as if everybody was in the same music room... Technology at it's best.
I think this is the future for music teaching. No one vibist will be let on his own, trying desesperately to learn alone... The vibes's malediction is over !
And all that because of M. Tony Miceli's vision years ago, hard work and generosity. One more time, thanks Tony !

Who doesn't love Dex!? Today is his birthday. What are your favorite Dexter tunes/albums. My favorite album is Doin' Allright. I also really like the blues on that album Society Red. Check out how behind the beat he sounds on the whole solo. It swings hard. That is Freddie Hubbard on trumpet.
