All the young cats at the workshop this year we VERY talented! He's Ryan and Steve.

So 2 great workshops this summer! I'm amazed at what how vibe players can grow in one week of hard work! It's really cool because I meet vibe players from all over the world now. It's all the same, you work hard you get better!

I'm amazed also at how this site is used in the workshop. Players bring up lessons as topics to talk about, they have questions about lessons. Between all of us, the site has grown into a HUGE source of information. I see this at every workshop.

Here we go. At the end of each Delaware workshop comes the vibraphone parade!

David talked at the Delaware 2011 workshop about the time when he wanted to work on wide intervals... So he grabbed paper and would just write anything on paper and then play this etude. Just dots, and then he'd make the rhythms on the fly.

Here David talks about solo playing and makes the point about syncopation. Why play the same rhythm with both hands? Play another rhythm with the left hand.

Ethan is worn out on day 5 of the workshop in Delaware!

A few years ago, I did a lesson where I talked about minor surround tones. I feel like surround tones are often discussed over dominant and minor, but not major as often. So I decided to talk a little about how to surround chord tones on major chords, enjoy!
