ed saindon 18 November 2015

Nice mallet lab this morning working with the students on Coltrane's Giant Steps using Four Note Groupings. We played through several pages from Volume 2 of The Complete Guide to Improvisation which is now available via www:edsaindon.com. It will also be available in the Berklee College of Music bookstore and on Amazon within a day or so.

Tune Learning lesson- Countdown pt1

Tylerblanton 18 November 2015

Hi Vibeworkshoppers!
With the amount of info on the site at this point, I thought it might be helpful to do a series of lessons talking and demonstrating the process I take when learning a tune. Starting from the very beginning and focusing on the process. I'm learning Coltrane's Countdown, but the process applies to whatever tune you want to work on.

A Great Gig

tonymiceli 16 November 2015

I did a great gig at PASIC. But besides bragging little bit about it, here's the cool thing.

The audience loved what we did. I think there is a REAL interest in the vibraphone happening. Something that hasn't happened in a long time.

I credit Leigh Stevens for really making a competitive instrument. In my humble opinion it is truly the best.... by far. That has woken up manufacturers and us vibe players have woken up our audiences! (All of us).

We have a big community here at vibesworkshop and we are on a roll!
