TOTM - Summertime - Etude No. 1 by Behn Gillece

Here is a simple chord melody for the TOTM, "Summertime." This is an ideal etude for beginners who are trying to grasp playing with 4 mallets and doing chord melodies. I've deliberately left it fairly simple, although I put in a few challenging measures to introduce mallet dampening and a few interesting voicings. Hope this helps!

What a month...

Hey Everyone,

It's been a while since I visited the site. SHAME ON ME ! I know.

I thought I would come back out of Holiday end of July, and then continue to work on playing, and I started on doing so, but I just couldn't keep up.

As of Yesterday I have a new job ! Last week I still was a productionplanner in a assembly factory, as of this week I'm a teacher.
I teach sound and lightning technics in my hometown's highschool.(In my previous life I was a technician in theater)

I am selling my beautiful Musser M55 pro vibe. It is an incredible instrument in great shape:

- Frame is sleek and not dinged up
- Motor is working
- In tune
- Felt is new
- String is new

The resonators are the lest appealing cosmetically, but could be easily refinished with a fresh powder coat.

This is a professional instrument in great shape. I live in the Denver area, but I will ship!

Would feel great to see it go to a loving owner!

TOTM - Summertime Resource

For the TOTM Tony mentioned that there was a bunch of Summertime stuff already on the site, so I figured it might be good to get it all together in one post. If anyone finds anything else, feel free to add it.
