It keeps popping up. Either the student doesn't know the melody or sort of knows it. Or, he can only play the melody with his 4 mallet arrangement.

I think you guys should make yourselves a promise. When you learn a new tune, you will learn the MELODY first and play it and work on it, unaccompanied. No chords. Use your inner to hear the chords while you play the melody.

Next learn the chords.

Then you can put them together, but NEVER forget the melody or lose the ability to play it unaccompanied.

Deal?????? This will go a long way!

Hey guys vibe hang this Saturday, 12pm My time. That's East Coast USA Time.

THE HANG IS HERE

Hi There-

A friend and I are undertaking a rather involved project for our duo of trumpet/flugel and vibraphone, and we're just wondering what the precedents are for this combination; if there's a jazz/improvised music duo with this instrumentation out there that I'm not aware of, if there's a historical one that is no more, but recorded together, what classical/new music repertoire has been written for this combo, etc. I'm looking on google now, but hoping y'all might have some handy anecdotal/first-hand knowledge about this. Much obliged.

I always wanted to play the theme from The Odd Couple TV show, and just found that I had it in my Real Book III. I entered the chords into Band-in-a-Box, and here it is.

Enjoy,
Barry

Are there any reviews or comments on the Ross or the Majestic vibe models? I know they are not as prominent as the main producers, but I have seen them at a lesser price point but I have not heard any reviews or how they sound or how they travel.

Thank you,
Roger

Cool Cat on the vibes.
