We have a ton of lessons up here!!!
Some of you have really looked through all of them. What do you think is missing?? Give us some ideas.
Hi All,
I'm getting near completing the Vibesworkshop on Roku app I talked about earlier, but I'm not happy with the graphics elements that I've come up with. I'm hoping that someone here has more graphic design talent than I have and is willing to help out. There are four images that are needed, and they should carry common theme elements between them.
When things get slow around here I wonder what everyone is up to.
I think it's in all our best interest for all of us to work hard on this instrument and that's the goal of the site. I believe I get better when you guys get better.
Terry Gibbs sent me a bunch of out of print stuff that he's given me permission to post for subscribers on the site! So keep an eye out!
can you guys see this video below?
also does this page load ok? http://www.vibesworkshop.com/faculty/tony_miceli
Today was my last day in Philly, I finally got to sleep a little bit which was nice. I checked out of the hotel and went down to the University of the Arts where I was going to sit in on one of Tony's classes an hour later. I had planned to get here early in hopes of finding breakfast and right around the corner there was a place called Mama Angelina's (i think) and I got to have some awesome pizza for breakfast.
Today was awesome!!! After about 4 hours of sleep and a huge breakfast I hit the road for Philly. With only two wrong turns I was about 5 minutes late.
Today started out a little rough, only got about 3 hours of sleep and had to run off to music theory, mail my application for that whole composition thing and then I ran down to the local drum store to pick up some mallets (Balter 23Rs, after seeing them in his product video). I was able to practice for quite a while today, finished really getting into Billie's Bounce and I started into Tony's lesson on Take the A Train but didn't get to far in. I still need to run through all the books sometime to double check I didn't accidentally throw something in the wrong folder.
I have been doing a little work in the books over the past week just to get accustomed to everything and see what all is out there. Started today out a little earlier, I decided to keep up on my AP Music Theory class this week which starts at 7:45 so I was able to get home and start working by 9. Tony played with some settings and blocked everyone out of the settings from around 11:30-2 so I had a nice little lunch break and some time to finish learning Billie's Bounce. I was about 2/3 of the way done with the books was when I was blocked so it was pretty easy to come back and finish it.
"only after you’ve learned 1,000 tunes do you realize that there are really only about 20 song forms and every tune is a combination of segments of these 20 forms"... I read somewhere on Hal Galper's website.
That statement goes with me for a few weeks now.
Who are those famous 20?
