Some personal little extras.

We did a zoom hang and talked about Israel. 

Friedman 9

I was talking with Becky a few days ago and our conversation turned to practice technique.   I have talked about my 37 and 38 note practice routine, but never really documented it, so I thought this would be a good opportunity, just in case anyone was interested.

A music teacher friend has a Musser (probably M44) in her band that is making loud noises. Please see the attached video and let me know what the problem is and how to fix.

Thanks,

Barry

Come hang with us and talk about the tune Israel.

I'll be talking with Behn Gillece and Oliver Mayman

Work on the tune for the next couple weeks. Learn it and play it. Write down questions. 

Tony Miceli is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Topic: Good Vibes
Time: This is a recurring meeting Meet anytime

This is very cool. It's amazing to see how people play mallet instruments. Their set ups and their use.

Hello everyone,

I've been trying to arrange more lately for my trio/other small groups. Here's my arrangement of Cedar Walton's "Bolivia." Hope you enjoy!

Just got a new Malletech marimba I'm totally in love with the sound. It's Padauk, not rosewood, so it has its own sound, which appeals to me after playing rosewood marimbas for so many years. The bar spacing is a little different so that's why I decided to practice a solo tune which I previously recorded on vibes. It's certainly a challenge on the new marimba!
