Hi, everybody!

One question: Is it possible to tune the bars on a vibraphone from 442hz to 440hz?

All the best,

Let's tackle the melodic minor scale.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
今天我們要介紹，旋律小音階Melodic minor。
看起來就是major大調音階，降3音。
（如果你還沒有了解調式音階，先去看了解調式音階的練習方式，影片：Ways to study Modes）

還記得我們在講調式音階時說到，練習modes時，重點在七個調式要建立在同一個根音上。
所以C Ionian就是C大調音階，C Dorian就是C大調音階降3降7，同時也可以想成，C是二級，往下推大二度，
得到Bb，也可以看成是Bb大調音階。

在這邊的練習方是也是一樣。演奏C melodic minor scale, 然後換不同的調式音階，都還是保持大調降3音的規則（melodic minor），可以得到不同的Melodic minor scale。

found these photos that made for a student showing how to deal with small intervals with 4 mallets.

I've attached a zip file with more photos. They're not very glamorous but they show what's up.

Here are some photos from the grip that I use.

Here are some old photos i found. I don't remember why I took these, but they're holding 2 mallets.

Here's part 2 of ideas for comping.

This stuff gets a little difficult to teach. But if you can get the concept and can work on it, I think you'll get lots of benefits from this.

We have a ton of lessons up here!!!

Some of you have really looked through all of them. What do you think is missing?? Give us some ideas.

Here is etude 5. This one has taken me a while to get together and I'm still working on bringing it speed but I think it still sounds good a little slow.

Hi All-

It's been awhile; lots of exciting things going on around here! I have some fairly exciting news of my own: I'll be appearing at the Melbourne Jazz Festival this May with my band, Nós Novo on the 1st @ Bennett's Lane, and on the 4th with Jo Lawry's quintet. We'd of course love to see any Melbourne/Aussie vibeworkshoppers in attendance... I mean, all are welcome of course, but it's kind of a schlepp for the rest of you!

I'm posting this because I think the rhythm section is so swinging and Larry is playing his ass off!

The vibes distort some on this, but I think for all the rest it's worth checking out
