My new book!

Hey everyone, I just wanted to let all of you know that I have a new book out! It's titled "Sight-Reading Skills for the Mallet Percussionist" and it's published by K. Wylie Publications. For those of you who don't know me, I teach at multiple schools with students from 6th grade up through university. This is a project I've been working on a long time and it's finally finished.

I hope you will forgive the shameless plug, but I thought I'd let everyone know. Here's a link for it:

1000 videos available on Vibesworkshop Roku/Android/iPhone apps

As of this morning, there are 1,000 Vibesworkshop videos available via the Roku, Android and iPhone apps.

The Roku app has been installed on 2,565 Rokus and the Android app has been installed on 104 Android phones. Due to the nature of the iPhone app I can't really tell how many people are using it, but it seems to get a little more use overall than the Android app, and a fair amount less than the Roku app.

For info on how to install and use the apps, see the "Check This Out" links.
