Scales & lines, chords & changes, phrasing & modes, oh my!

I feel a bit like the lion in The Wizard of Oz ;-) I have been sifting through the site for a few days and I have had some success at trying to learn online. I am a beginner and I know what I do not know, which is a start. I could use a recommendation for a book on the fundamentals of music theory as it relates to my level of (or absence of) knowledge of playing the vibes. Any suggestions?

When i saw this i was in awe!

just thought some one would want to see this. Know what if someone layed them out in a keyboard pattern to make a blow vibraphone? Like a melodica, except bottles.

Help guys. this has been a huge problem with my vibes. i have been trying to fix this problem since i got them a year ago. when i purchased it used it had this problem. so i bought a new rail because i thought that that was the problem (it was warped). the new rail seemed to work, but my vibe has started to have this problem again.

A student of mine showed this video to me. I thought it was pretty cool!

This is pretty wicked!

I am fascinated by moving harmony via lines, without chords. This lesson talks about that over our TOTM Someday My Prince Will Come

Let's study the harmony a little bit! Learning the chords and studying the harmony are similar things but they can also be very different things as well. Sit at a piano make lines and work through stuff.
