Here's number 24! Let me know what ya'll think!

Morgan is a great young musician! She sat at a computer and transcribed this with no instrument. Then she adapted it for the vibes and then she played it!

Great version by my student. He's mainly a drummer but doing great on vibes. He takes nice solos and knows quite a bit about harmony.

Hi vibes lovers today i'd like to talk about my approach to odd meter showing you a couple of grooves that I wrote.
remember to break down the odd meter in smaller groups of 3 and 2 (e.g. 7=2+2+3 or 2+3+2 or 3+2+2)

Thanks a lot for watching and remember to follow me on Facebook Instagram and Youtube!

This is a recording of my new marimba solo piece, Charlie Chaplin, performed by the wonderful young marimbist, Ayami Okamura. We did this at my house. We plan to do a more professional recording in the middle of October.
I love her groove, a quality missing in too many classical marimbists.

A little Monday morning warmup on the marimba at Berklee with Chick Corea’s classic composition “Armando’s Rhumba”. I liked Patrice's post regarding the marimba. I love playing the marimba and have learned a lot from marimbists. I've taught a lot of marimbists from the Boston Conservatory who were Nancy Zeltsman's students. Students have included Pius Cheung, Eriko Daimo and Hidemi Murase who were really inspiring. Things like touch, fluidity, use of four mallets, orchestration, interesting pieces, etc, can give us some interesting things to think about and apply to the vibes.

This is important stuff.

You know I think the Mallet Station might be a decent entry level controller, however as SOON as you get serious, It will not even hang a little bit with the MalletaKat, that's my take so far.

But as an entry keyboard into the world of electronic mallets, I'm sure it's fine. Keep in mind that the Malletkat has a competitive instrument also. Around the same price.

But check this video out.

This is a new project I have with my son.
