Lesson 1 Part: Modes - Assignment (And Others)

These are my videos for lesson 1 of the 15 lesson vibe course. I'm also attaching my Listening Assignment notes here.

Alone at Last Track by Track

Moon-child/ In Your Quiet Place

Firstly, I don’t think this piece could have been named any differently. It just emits such a soundscape energy, and so far its my favorite from the album. There’s so many bold decisions compositionally as well.

Green Mountains/ Arise Her Eyes

Playing in 3/4 - Pt. 9 - Tune Study - Little B's Poem

🚨 Playing in 3/4 – Pt. 9: Tune Study – “Little B’s Poem” (Comping Chorus)

Part 9 shifts from melodic ideas to full-chorus comping, applying everything from earlier lessons to the harmonic and rhythmic language of “Little B’s Poem.” This etude explores how to support the tune’s flowing 3/4 feel using clear voicings, smooth voice-leading, and rhythmic patterns that create a relaxed yet forward-moving pulse.

V-I cadence, new perspective of practicing scales pt.2

Hey guys,

I’m Rupert Lo, and I’m really happy to be part of the faculty here. I’m a vibraphonist, percussionist, and composer based in New York City. I’ll be sharing some of the things I’ve learned along the way—practice concepts, creative approaches, and hopefully some inspiration for your own playing. I also keep a few private lesson spots open each month for students of all ages and levels. My email is below, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you’d like to connect!
