Loved it. text/html 2009-07-21T03:54:31+01:00 http://video.steveweissmusic.net Matt L. http://video.steveweissmusic.net/23/patv-3.video Thanks for the video Taylor. I really liked the analogy about the parent telling his son to take out the garbage. It made me laugh, but it seems to work great, and I think creating stories like that within the music is an excellent thing to do. I also liked your approach to the ending section. Thanks for sharing what you learned. You are the first person I heard mention that this is a great opportunity to be the teacher, and not just the student. It was great hearing from you throughout the contest, and I hope to keep in touch. -Matt text/html 2009-07-20T12:54:53+01:00 http://video.steveweissmusic.net Matt L. http://video.steveweissmusic.net/24/patv-4.video Nice run-through Taylor! I really like your expressiveness in measure 1, and the groove seems to be coming along nicely. text/html 2009-07-12T01:46:34+01:00 http://video.steveweissmusic.net Taylor A. http://video.steveweissmusic.net/21/complete-runthrough-of-katamiya.video HI! well thanks for the videos Matt. I learned a ton from your videos and I thought they were great! I think you have put a lot of effort into this. You will definitely be a top contender for the win! Thanks again, Taylor Armstrong text/html 2009-07-08T01:53:16+01:00 http://video.steveweissmusic.net Jeff S. http://video.steveweissmusic.net/21/complete-runthrough-of-katamiya.video Great job Matt. A couple wrong notes but that is easy fixable. The groove is there! Once ZMF is done I will be able to get back to learning with you. Sorry it is been so quiet! -Jeff text/html 2009-06-30T02:00:45+01:00 http://video.steveweissmusic.net Jeff S. http://video.steveweissmusic.net/19/patv-2.video Good first attempt Taylor! The groove will come with just a little more time. I am still not happy with how long it seems to be taking me but small steps and noticeable daily progress keep me going. text/html 2009-06-28T23:53:59+01:00 http://video.steveweissmusic.net Matt L. http://video.steveweissmusic.net/19/patv-2.video I like your idea of practicing on the floor. Not only is it great for practicing rhythm, but it is also good for creating an even volume between all your mallets. text/html 2009-06-26T22:39:23+01:00 http://video.steveweissmusic.net Thomas B. http://video.steveweissmusic.net/11/katamiya-discussion.video Thanks Jeff.. I think you are right about pronunciation. Will address that and possible note/rhythm errors in next video. I agree.. great to see others getting themselves out there... leaving videos etc...See you at ZMF soon! text/html 2009-06-26T22:30:05+01:00 http://video.steveweissmusic.net Thomas B. http://video.steveweissmusic.net/9/katamiya-june19.video Steve: Thank SO much for taking part. I really learned a lot from you! Looking forward to future installments. text/html 2009-06-26T11:13:49+01:00 http://video.steveweissmusic.net Matt L. http://video.steveweissmusic.net/15/katamiya-breakdown-for-patv.video I like your emphasis on being expressive! Very important. text/html 2009-06-25T19:59:49+01:00 http://video.steveweissmusic.net Matt L. http://video.steveweissmusic.net/13/katamiya-june-22.video I like your approach in using alternate hands in eighth notes to practice the opening section, and am now using that myself. Great video again. text/html 2009-06-23T12:34:33+01:00 http://video.steveweissmusic.net Jeff S. http://video.steveweissmusic.net/11/katamiya-discussion.video The podcast of Momoko Kamiya with Julie Davila is at: http://www.innovativepercussion.com/pages/artists/bio.asp?id=411 Clicking the podcast link will take you to iTunes to listen. It is the only episode. text/html 2009-06-21T23:53:37+01:00 http://video.steveweissmusic.net Matt L. http://video.steveweissmusic.net/9/katamiya-june19.video Excellent! I particularly liked the 5 coins approach. I also thought measures 2-9 grooved very well when you played them. Torrin, I really like your idea about telling more about ourselves. I will try to introduce myself a little more in my next video, and I would like to hear more about everyone else too. -Matt text/html 2009-06-21T13:06:01+01:00 http://video.steveweissmusic.net Torrin R. http://video.steveweissmusic.net/9/katamiya-june19.video Hey! This is very cool I like the many varieties and approaches we are getting. Things I would never even think of. There are two main points you made that I thought were so interesting. Your decision to use a -different- mallet for early stages of practice is a really cool idea especially with peices like this where the end result will probably be using softer mallets, developing that clarity and not "hiding" behind your mallets is important. I also like that you mentioned a metronome, that is of course an integral part of what we do. I really like the idea of using the metronome on the offbeat, that is so cool and would definitely give you a much better control over the tempo. I look forward to trying this when I practice in the future. My only complaint is that you should introduce yourself more! Where did you study, what do you perform, what gigs have you played, what pieces have you learned recently? I just like to know more about the people I work with, and now this extends to my online community. Maybe we should all include our musical resumes with our next tapes or something. Overall, this was very enjoyabe. Yours in performing, Torrin Rosegold text/html 2009-06-19T10:06:08+01:00 http://video.steveweissmusic.net Thomas B. http://video.steveweissmusic.net/5/approach-to-m-2-9.video This is a great way to apply the groove concept! Amazing idea... and seems like it makes a difference when you play it on marimba. Thanks! text/html 2009-06-19T10:02:31+01:00 http://video.steveweissmusic.net Thomas B. http://video.steveweissmusic.net/7/p6170086.video Great job Torrin.
