Our Pop Up Classes

Just want to say, I can't believe how helpful our pop up classes have been for the people participating in them. I see growth with every final performance we do. We work together for about a month and then we perform. That is 5-10 of us perform the same people one after another. What is cool is to watch the beginning and the end.

I should say I can't believe how hard the players involved with our pop up classes are working on the material! That's what's making the difference.

Thoughts from last weekend's coffee hour since we have a week off...

The producer I am working with to create soundtracks for his mini-series has become one of my favorite teachers. He is not a musician, nor does he even play an instrument formally. His relationship to music comes from his understanding of how it provides the setting and colorations of the on-screen events in movies.

If you really love the vibes........

I am on the events committee for the Vibraphone Project Inc.. It was set up to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of the vibraphone which is now.

The organization needs vibe players to join committees and help it be successful. I think this organization is going to do a lot of great things for the vibraphone.

So please consider helping. Email vibraphoneprojectinc@gmail.com and talk to Brian Graiser and see where you would like to fit it and help us celebrate the vibraphone.

I Am Very Excited About this!

June 14-18 we are going to have a very special 5 day workshop.
6 classes a day featuring:

David Friedman

There will be a concert on the Final Day with all of us in person.

Next Pop Up Class - Caravan? - March-April 2021

caravan is a good tune to work on. Just like Green Dolphin Street in a way it's half modal and then have changes. And the chages are great to work on, dominant chords! 3 of them, 2 are regular 9 chords and then a diminished going to Ab and then down a half step to an altered chord. So it's actually 4 dominant chords.

What do you think, - Tony

We would do the same deal. You get in the class by playing the melody and then the chords. Do it with Ireal pro with no piano turned on.

I Remember April Pop Up Class with Behn Gillece
