How to make Vibraphone lessons a success for beginners or advanced Students

Learning to play an instrument requires a private tutor. Private Vibraphone lessons provide a schedule and a routine that all musicians need. Articles and videos can be misleading and misunderstood. To play the Vibraphone you will need to:

  • Have new new techniques demonstrated
  • Practice the techniques for a given amount of time (usually a week)
  • Have an experienced teacher guide and evaluate your progress and development

Individual teacher's methods will vary but this fundamental routine and rhythm will be the same.

We offer Vibraphone lessons for every level of Vibraphone player

What to expect from beginning Vibraphone lessons

Beginner Vibraphone lessons are appropriate for those students without previous experience playing the instrument. You'll need to learn proper techniques and get comfortable producing the instrument's sound. Your instructor might choose to cover some of the following topics at this level:

  • Proper posture
  • Proper position
  • Instrument anatomy and assembly
  • Fundamental exercises
  • Basic scales
  • Basic music theory

What to expect from intermediate Vibraphone lessons

Intermediate lessons are intended for students who know their way around the instrument before being ready for advanced techniques. At this level, you'll strengthen your ability to produce a broader range of sounds and articulations on the Vibraphone. In intermediate classes, your Vibraphone tutor may choose to cover some of the following topics:

  • At this point you will likely be starting out in traditional methods and syllabi like the RCM, ABRSM there are many and all are good.
  • Your teacher will work principally on refinement of your sound, articulation, intonation, rhythm and your general understanding of musical fundamentals and style
    • Intermediate music theory

What to expect from advanced Vibraphone lessons

After a period of time you will become an advanced Vibraphone player and you will likely specialize in a certain style and will be very involved in choosing your own path. You will still need a Vibraphone teacher to guide you on your chosen path. The advanced student needs an external pair of ears even more than the beginner or intermediate student. Elements of advanced lessons include:

  • Advanced repertoire and examinations
  • Career counselling
  • Audition preparation
