GMV-Chapter 1 (part 1) "A run run" by Israel Arranz

(ENGLISH)
Happy New Year to everybody!
GMV (Galician Music for Vibes) is a collection of lessons where I´ll try to show/share part of the traditional galician music adapted to the vibraphone (in order to improof and develope many topics). I´ve been working on it the last 6 months and my purpose is posting a new chapter every month. Through the lessons we´ll can practice melody, harmony, dampening, pedaling, solo vibes, ... I really hope you have fun and that helps you.

QDV on Modes (Quick and Dirty Video)

I worked on this today with my student Ian Meiman. Smart student.

練習調式Modes時,其實可以同時練習很多不同項目,包含棒法,踏板(止音),聽力,

練習時慢慢打,把每個音都止音止乾淨。

之後加入節拍器,可以按照速度打。

Q&A: Why Should Beginners and Intermediate Musicians Play Scales and Other Technical Exercises? (Good Question)

Because you're not in an environment where you are playing and keeping your hands in shape.

If you can blow over Cherokee at 300 BPM then you probably don't have to play technical exercises if you don't want to. You can just blow over tunes and work out your hands.

But for a lot of players new to the instrument you can't do that, so then it's important to play scales and other technical exercises and to work up speed.

Not much more to say about that. IMHO :)
