Vibraphone

Hi Everyone,
Boy, did May ever get away from me. Two events kept me crazy busy, the first the graduation of my son Nick from Temple University's graduate program in music in mid-May. The second, hosting the Jost Project at our house as a CD preview party later in the month. It was a great time. Everyone enjoyed the music, the company, the food, the fine weather. Like Christmas in the summer. Time now to get back to work.

I've decided to move the Philly workshop to my home.

I'm planning a great week from July 10-14 (I can even do something on the 9th If people come in early)

It's really getting impossible to do independent workshops at Universities unless you're bringing in 100 students. The red tape, background checks etc., forms are unbelievable! You need a team of 2 or 3 people to pull all this off.

Here's a track from a recent recording session I did at my university. I have been working on my solo playing and thought it would be worthwhile to try to record a bunch of tunes. Not everything turned out as well as I would have liked, but I did learn a lot about what to work on. This was my favourite. It's a tune in 3/4 by a friend of mine. I'll post the lead sheet if anyone's interested.

I work hard on our TOTM's. VW for me is a chance to teach and learn :-)

Sorry about the pedal noise! Something was loose. And this of course was the best version! First take! The others I didn't like however they make NO noise!

Beautiful piece of music that I sketched out for vibes and a little personal interpretation.

Hi vibes lover in this lesson I'll talk about my idea of composing.
I will explain how I wrote the Aforisma n#2 from my new book called AFORISMI - 11 etudes for solo vibraphone

這邊教大家一個簡單的小練習。
幫助你了解整首曲子、也幫助你了解更多和聲。
每個和弦都演奏一小段音階（從根音開始），

像這樣：
Fminor7: F,G,Ab,Bb,C
C7altered: C,Db,Eb,E,G
依此類推，用這個方式演奏整首曲子

I LOVED Victor Feldman! He was a pretty busy studio player back in the day but ventured out and recorded some GREAT vibe recordings. I went to his house for lessons a few times and it was a huge treat but like the other masters I studied with, I wish I was a better student. Victor was an amazing artist.
