Anyone on board with "A Sight Reading Etude Per Day"? I'm curious if anyone is using the pages I'm putting up for Sight Reading. If so, please email me or post it here to let me know. I'd like to track the progress if possible but if no one is needing or using it I'll discontinue it.
yo everybody,
Bruce is the male version of Marie EXCEPT for the fact that bruce plays vibes for real. Check him out on youtube, vibeman27. He plays good!! And Bruce is American not French.
He's active online, he's positive and in my virtual opinion he seems like a great guy. i'm so happy he's hanging out on the site. many of us know him well and want him to keep us up to date.
i bring that up cause if you see 'cancer update' and you start thinking.... huh????
so even if it seems a little off topic here, many of us on the site want to hear from him!
One major difference between my self and John Piper is organized vs. unorganized! Piper in his spare time is a fire fighter so he has to be totally organized. i'm just not even though I try to be.
Well we were talking about the dampening and pedaling section of the book and decided that it should be it's own book, since many of us might contribute to that book.
So I have moved it out of the 'Good Vibes' book and Made it it's own book. If you click on Books You'll see it there. The 'Good Vibes Book' is sort of becoming my book and Piper's Loft is John's Book.
Things to do with Rhythm, time and Swing. This is the chapter, when I complete some lessons for this section they will appear here!
Hello everyone,
I'd like to let you hear someone very special... If my love for vibes is a mistery, this guy is at the origin of it all: he is the one who "gave me the virus" :o)... some 20 years ago!
Here's a link to his myspace page. Track 3 is a solo piece: "A Music Box on an African Atoll".

He recorded it together with a real music boxe (with cylinder and crank) he had "programmed" and is "playing" too. I hope this sounds clear enough to you... :o)
Marie-Noëlle doesn't play the vibes but she loves them as much as I think the rest of us do! She's joined our ranks inside the school and I'm sure will have a lot to say. She's pretty active over at thevibe.net a popular vibe site.
All the vibe players love Marie. When Joe Locke hit's Paris he's sure to meet up and say hello to Marie. She's a great person and a great fan of the vibraphone. And I welcome her to the inner core of the school!
I'd like to see more participation by members too. It's so fun to bring a society of vibraphonists together. I live in Texas and I don't travel much anymore so I don't see a lot of vibe players (though there are some very good ones here) but none of my neighbors and most of my friends don't even know what it is or how to pronounce it. I'm sure that many reading this are in that same dilemma. Keep in mind that it's very healthy for each of us to have some socializing with people who understand the value of the art and support each other during the struggle.
Unbelievable! His hands, the rolls. He's incredible. I'm moving to Thailand. Later!
Check out this video!!! Two giants!! Amazing!!
I just saw barryk's post on the site. He put up a little clip of him playing along with an audio track from a youtube vid. I was really happy to see that.
You know I can post lots of stuff and will, but when you guys get more involved in the site and post audio, and blog, that's when the site REALLY grows and great things happen.
I would love to hear and see what the subscribers here and doing musically. I know JL12 is going to post a Friedman etude that we're going to put in the Good Vibes Book. That's really cool.
