Hi Folks,
Here is an idea that I've been working on- some groupings of notes in the Melodic minor mode and ways of making melodies with them.

Hey guys,

Great workshop last Wednesday. The assignment is posted to the blackboard in the percussion room, but I'll post it here also. You can post your finished assignments here as well:

Compose a short etude on marimba or vibes. Use a recurring vamp theme. Etude must contain at least two different tonal centers. Provide a mp3 and written music with your post. Good luck!

Attached is a PDF. I think these types of exercises are invaluable. However they take a lot of time in the beginning and get easier towards the end. But you are a changed musician at the end.

Put the chords in (it's All the Things You Are). Analyze it a little bit.

Play it and memorize it.

Put it through all the keys, from memory. This is the very very important part. Eventually the melodies will be in your head and you will go to the right notes. You'll then see alterations in other keys, you'll be training your ears. I did so much of all this, back in the day!

Excerpt from Milan clinic that took place this past May. Vibist Andrea Mellace (who came all the way from Calabria) asked me to play Black Orpheus. In this clip, I'm demonstrating various dampening techniques (including slide dampening and hand dampening) using Black Orpheus as a vehicle.

I've posted this simple exercise before. I'm reposting for a different reason.

I think doing this scale exercise fast and well means a shift in your thinking. Everyone has trouble doing it at first. At first we look at the bottom note of the double stop and the exercise is difficult to do. After a while you will shift your thinking and you will see this from the top note, which is the goal. I accompany myself in this way. That is playing a line and using mallet one to accompany the line.
