Hi All,
I'll be doing a long tour mostly based in Belgium starting the last part of October into mid November. Just wanted to put out there that if anyone is interested in getting a lesson in person, I plan to have a little time to teach…
Hi everyone,
Tony and I discussed our new TOTMs. We thought it would be a good idea to include a ballad in this one, so we'll study You Don't Know What Love Is along with Green Dolphin Street.
I'm kicking off the new TOTMs with a dampening…
Hi Folks,
I realize there is a ton of data, technical info and lessons on the site. All very valuable!

“Jazz” bass line,這邊特別是說到爵士風格的這種bass line,
我們先前練過了好多左右手分開,簡單旋律的bass line 練習
(像這樣, Tony示範)
左右手分開:在練習這個同時,一定要很專心地保持左手的固定。再一次提醒,踏板要跟著左手。
左右手合起來創造旋律:一樣在練習這個同時,一定要很專心地保持bass line的固定。
(Tony演奏blues曲式)…

Hi Folks,
Haven't been as active as I'd like to have been this summer, but wanted to take a minute to write a short blog. I don't always feel efficient in my practice sessions, but just had a nice one today and thought I'd talk about…
Superb playing, IMHO

Audioclip up on SoundCloud of solo vibe track of Green Dolphin Street taped during a Vic Firth videoshoot at Berklee College of Music in Boston. Videoclip of this track will be released on the Vic Firth You Tube channel this month.
A new Piece I wrote. Pretty challenging (at least for me :-). I've been writing pieces with only my ipad. So some things seem easy in my mind, but when I go to play them, they're difficult!

Tony 演奏blues 曲式,左手演奏bass line, 右手即興旋律
這樣左右手分開演奏旋律線條,可以增強雙手獨立性。

試著創造旋律,即興的樂句盡量有音樂性有調性,創造出悅耳的旋律。
如果覺得快要卡住,可以左手停在只演奏同一個音,但是還是要保持節奏。
兩手分開獨立演奏,創造簡單旋律,…
