Here's a two chorus line etude on Minority. Take notice of some of the diatonic phrases in the beginning. Remember that even simple ideas can really outline the chord if you end on 3rds and 7ths in the right way!

So my buddy posted this list on FB. he said it's a list of all the chords.
Too much info for me!!!! What do you think!

All of the chords - Based on melodic/harmonic minor and major.

7th Chords:

△7+
-△7
sus △7

9th Chords:

I've known many good people who discount the relevance of art because it has not been explained to them in a way that they understand. Art is a quest for greatness in all forms. It sets the bar for humanity. It's the best and highest level of accomplishment that humans can achieve or fathom. An artful effort supplies the world with a path toward achievement. An Artful accomplishment offers the world hope of that achievement. Art is not mere entertainment. It is purposeful beyond all other physical things.

Here's Evelen Glennie playing the vibes with a symphony.

I can't figure her out. Not that I have to, but I'm very curious.

First - Check her chops out. Amazing IMHO

Listen to her sound. Amazing. Beautiful!

I'm just not understanding what she does. Listen to the last note of the piece. She's early. Is the conductor supposed to follow her? Does she hear the band? Or feel the vibrations? Was this just a mistake?

BEST ATTENDANCE EVER RECORDED FOR A JAZZ STYLE CONCERT! (per capita) Over 10% of the entire U.S. and New Zealand population in Antarctica poured in for PIPER'S "Concert of the Snows" on May 7th at McMurdo Station Antarctica, with Jon Rees on Tenor Sax and Flute.

This is an articulation exercise in the style of an Indian Raga. I use lots of accents and different stickings for the repeated notes so that the sound constantly changes through varied articulation. There's lots of double stickings, i.a. LLR, LLR, LLR, RRRR, LLLL,
Playing on the tip of the mallet head with the pedal down creates the illusion of long held out tones because you don't hear any attack.
It's also a tremendous (I sound like Trump!) challenge to keep the tempo steady.

Enjoy!

Hello Vibes Workshop members,

I'm very happy to announce that my book, "The Band Teacher's Percussion Guide: Insights into Playing and Teaching Percussion", (https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-band-teachers-percussion-gu…) has just been published by Oxford University Press.

I just started improvising on one of my favorites; Up Jumped Spring, by F.H. Can you guess who that is?
If not you'll have to do minimal research! :-) I thought it would be a nice change to start the melody in the bass.

Just thought I'd throw this out there.

Georgia - practicing some four to the bar left hand with left foot hi hats on this classic song. There were some hats in the practice room and I figured I would give it a go. Needs some work still. And I can't blame the drummer. Ha!Ha!
