We had a great talk at our coffee hang last sunday. We talked about practicing.
One of the partipants Richard Schwagerl sent over some interesting docs he uses and created for teaching. Here they are. 2 docs didn't come over well, I'll add them later, but one is good and I'll post it here.
The Art and Science of Musical Practice
Behn talks about the Jobim classic Wave
THIS IS SOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL. Take the time to listen to this!

Love Vibe For Sale. I'm helping a friend sell his instrument. It's a Love Vibe and it's in good shape. You can email me, if you are interested (tony@tonymiceli.com). The instrument is Near Philadelphia in New Jersey. Cash Only, and you have to pick. I can drive an hour if that helps.
$4750 with cases.
He is the man on the Malletkat IMHO!
Classes will be as follows:
at 2:45 we will do either the rhythm section class or the perc. Which ever one we do first we will do the other one right after.
Oliver Mayman will do the classes on Wednesday, Behn Gillece on Thursday.
Friday the schedule will change a little bit and in the afternoon Chuck Redd will do a workshop. (He's a great 2 mallet vibe player and a GREAT drummer).
Just found Mattias Ståhl. Anyone know about him?
I think he sounds great and very interesting!
This is a video many of us have probably seen, this version is colorized which is cool.
For me they play one of my most favorite songs 'A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square'. Also the third song they play is one of Gary's and I love to see how much the audience loves his playing and the song. I imagine Gary just floored musicians and especially percussionists. No one had played like this in 1966. He was the first. A must watch!
