all-levels

Hey guys,

I’m Rupert Lo, and I’m really happy to be part of the faculty here. I’m a vibraphonist, percussionist, and composer based in New York City. I’ll be sharing some of the things I’ve learned along the way—practice concepts, creative approaches, and hopefully some inspiration for your own playing. I also keep a few private lesson spots open each month for students of all ages and levels. My email is below, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you’d like to connect!

Barry Harris is so amazing as a player and a teacher. 

Here he talks about All The Things You and progressions. This is so amazing!!!!!! 

Our latest recording.  This is my first one with the new array mbira and Marianne’s first with the Irish flute and whistle.

So what do you all think of vibes in the context of traditional Irish music?  Definitely NOT traditional.  :)

We had a great hang with Mario. Here's a timeline in case you want to zero in on anything.

I had AI make a podcast of the video. It's attached just for fun! 

Based on the provided audio excerpts, here's a timeline of the meeting, with timestamps indicating when certain events occurred:

As I am working hard to learn to play this new instrument (the array mbira), I have taken to forcing myself to record to add a little pressure.   I have been using standard tunes a lot just because I don't have to learn the music; I can just focus on learning to play the mbira.

Becky came over the yesterday to practice a little on my parsifal bells, and I let her hear this.   It occurs to me that I might get some good feedback from the rest of you here, so have at it... 

What do you all think?   Is this absolute confirmation of my insanity??  :)
