Here vibes played with real brazilian rythm and feel. Not so often ...

I'll give a free 1 hour Skype lesson to the first person who posts a video of them playing this etude.

About 10 of you guys did the mini concerts. That's great for us to come together like that. It feels a little like we performed together. So....

What if we pick a tune and all study it together with goals each week. It could even be beginner, intermediate and advanced goals. The point is we all practice together and post our work as if it's a lesson. Which it sort of is right?

What do you guys think?

四棒技巧，上一支影片我們講到演奏四分音符運用到四支棒子，這裏我們可以討論更多。


以Blues為例子（你可以用任何一首曲子來練習），一開始速度慢，確定都用到四棒。

這個概念很簡單，但是要花時間練習。

最近這些系列的影片，都是我曾經非常努力練習的，是針對怎麼樣可以把這個樂器演奏得更好。


這一集要講的是四棒適當的運用，因為有些學生只會用到某些棒子，

時常提到演奏四分音符的重要性，你可以用這個方式練習（Tony示範Cmajor, Cminor）

練這個練習時，沒有嚴格的規定，只要把他打得好聽，盡量做音樂，不要當成一個無聊的練習。


這個練習很好幫助左手的兩棒技巧，因為運用左手兩支棒子時，聽起來會聽起來像Voicing。

在這個簡單小練習中，盡量嘗試發覺你自己的東西。一個Pattern或是一個音樂句子。

這非常幫助四棒演奏技巧。

We are start playing solo don't we :-). We spend a lot of time playing by ourselves! Esp when we begin.

Check out Jonathan Kreisberg's video on his solo cd (which I can't find on iTunes :-( )

Philosophically it's very interesting!
