Don't Know What To Practice?

Here is a list of things on the website, lessons I liked a lot or thought were important. For me it's all of them I guess.

Can any of you guys copy a link of something you thought was interesting and help and put it in the comments? I'll Building on this. This would be especially for new comers to the site or players who don't know what to practice. Pick something from here!

Check Out the Grip

We talk about grips a lot. I think mine is the best. Right? I should shouldn't I?

Check out Mike's. I think in anyone else's hands this grip would have so many problems. But Mike makes it sound like the best grip in the world. He uses a pick up system to play, keep that in mind. I would imagine it's hard to bang hard on the instrument with that grip.

Here are 5 great vibe players who all have different grips.

Burton
Jackson
Mainieri
Feldman

Opportunity for a student vibraphonist to perform at masterclass

Hi all,

I will be doing a clinic at New Jersey City University on Sunday, April 22nd. Exact times are TBD, but the start will likely be 11am.

If you are a high school or college aged vibist that would like to perform, please contact me at behn@behngillecejazz.com and I can provide more details.

This would be a great opportunity to be heard by percussionists and vibe enthusiasts in the NYC area! Hope to hear from some folks!

Piper’s Work Room (first post)

Tony asked me to present my story along with a series relating to the vibraphone's various mechanical functions from both a player and a builder's perspective. The objective is to systematically address the entire instrument and share what I learned going through the process of designing, building, marketing and pitching the PIPERvibe to Musser. I’m hoping that you will ask questions, answer questions and present new ideas. Building a great vibraphone is simple - until you actually do it.
