Hi All,
I've been asked to provide the Vibraphone segment of my states "Day of Percussion" here in Australia for the Percussive Arts Society. I was wondering if anyone had ideas, topics, questions about vibraphone, playing, technique etc that you think would be cool to have covered in my workshop.
wanna hear, all the time through, some vibesjazzmusic ,go to windowsmedia.com to jazz and then vibraphonejazz ,the whole day through
Good evening,
I already said hello in the shoutbox, but how much can you tell in 1 sentence.....
I live in Belgium and studied percussion as a kid. Back then I really loved the sound of the xylophone, so I told myself I would buy one the minute I could afford it.(Which I did when I had a steady job for a while). But in contrast with owning one, I completely neglected it for years. It was only when my wife and I bought a house that I took it up again several years ago. And due to having kids, and renovationworks it was with ups and downs.
Hey all,
we've been adding more and more of Joe's tunes in digital sheet music format to his store. And there's more on the way.
Plus, stay tuned for the complete package of his upcoming release "Signing" by the Joe Locke / Geoffrey Keezer Group. We'll be making the album available (CD and download) together with all tracks as sheet music.
Hi everybody who are going to come at Nico's in Sassenheim for the workshop.
Concerning my workshop I'm planning to do some work starting from classical music (JS Bach) and show some different approachs to practice this music on the vibraphone (transposition, chords, improvisation) than just only reading the part.
About this, and to be more efficient, would it be possible for you to check out a couple of pieces ?
I am thinking about :
- the "Courante" from the suite n°1 for cello in G,
- the "Sarabande" and/or the "Double" (just after) from the partita n°1 for violin in Bm,
Can someone please post a video or some easy to follow instructions on how to wrap mallets for those of us that are a bit slow. I want to wrap my own mallets and find a good sound and I think a video on how to do it would be great.
Also, when/if you post it, make it viewable by all members. LOL
I'm subscribing when I get money, I swear!
Thanks,

Tony,
You're the absolute greatest! You've figured out how to do it all. I enjoy checking in with www.vibesworkshop.com every day now to see what's new and old in the vibe world. I get a lot of great new practice ideas and teaching ideas from your site.
You're an artist's artist and I hope your subscribers realize what a gem you are to our scene - especially that of the vibrapnone. Thanks for keeping at it to the point of this excellent web site!
Still finding my way around.
However, Tony is offering you guys some valuable avenues to obtaining musical knowledge and information, as well as unifying a community of musicians. My experience has been that vibe players are "outsiders". Yes we provide music, good music, good additions to bands but we were never the band, mostly the guys who "stand over there someplace." "Find a spot over there" etc., etc. Things are getting better and Tony is leading the way in understanding the complexities of being a vibraphone player.
