This basic method for the Vibraphone is geared toward playing with full pop ensembles. You will learn how to improvise on a popular song; how to accompany other soloists; how to play in different keys; how to play popular melodies; and the routine of playing with a band. This album concludes with four great popular classics with full band/orchestra accompaniments, in both simplified and advanced arrangements. Includes a high-quality printed method book and a compact disc containing complete instruction on all topics and full orchestral accompaniments to each piece, minus you, the soloist.
