A short interactive program you can use to rearrange voices in a chord so they follow Tony's Open/Closed Voicings exercise.

David wrote this piece back in 2017 and we recorded this in the late october of 2018. Since then it was resting on my harddrive waiting to be edit. Now its finally done.
This piece is so much fun to play! 14 min that go by so quickly, because we enter so many different musical worlds that are constantly interesting, humorous and exciting.

The score is available at malletmuserecords.

The instrument is a Deagan 1000, and it's nice to see Hefner keepin' it real by moving the vibraphone into place.

You hear them? You like them? I think they are cool.

I got the tip from my student Oliver who is a piano player and moves voicings from the piano to the vibes. Oliver rocks!

Some Sunday night musical reflection on “America” with some reharmonization, modulation and constant structure chords. If anyone would like the lead sheet just let me know.

I'm trying to get organized here, but it's not easy for me. Since the quarantine I have been busier than I've ever been. Being online is more work than being offline!

But I would like to see which subscribers want to meet up once or twice a month and play and talk about stuff.

Here's the thing, you have to have good bandwidth, decent audio and decent video.

There are ways to do it. And I will help any subscriber that has questions.

Post your question on the site here as a blog. I will try and answer and make a book in the vbooks sectdion.
