Balafon to Vibraphone: a unique path to new ideas

I wanted to share some thoughts about my balafon lessons and how they might connect to your primary instrument: vibes, marimba, piano, etc.

Interesting Chord Inversions

Interesting Chord Inversions

Learn one of the songs on this Sonny Rollins video.

As you see he doesn't have a chord player in the band. So you just got the job.

1. comp for his solo and the bass solo.
2. He takes long ass solos, so solo over top of him for a bit and then switch to accompanying him on his solo.

Make sure you have decent sound so that this is fun!

If you learned all the tunes, you could see what it's like playing a whole concert!

Hello everyone!

I wanted to make a more technique-oriented lesson to give a look inside how I think everyone should practice four mallets. We’ll look at permutations, interval work, and one-handed rudiments in this lesson. By doing these exercises, you’re essentially training your hands to be ready for any combination of notes you’ll ever have to play, in whichever mallets make the most sense to play with. Let me know what you guys think!
