I’ll admit that for many years as a piano teacher I didn’t think so.

But in the last couple years I made a discovery about creating pleasant sounds on the piano that I never would have believed during my earlier piano teaching career.

I recall a physician friend asking me if I had any kind of course he could take that didn’t involve learning to read music or music theory or any of the traditional materials. He had purchased a beautiful Yamaha grand for his daughter to take lessons on when she was growing up, but now she was married and moved away, so he had this grand piano in his living room with no one to play it. He was much too busy in his career to take traditional piano lessons - he just wanted to “doodle” after work in the evening and relax after a stress-filled day at the hospital.

The vibraphone is a percussion instrument that is played by striking the bars with a mallet. This instrument is somewhat similar to the xylophone, but it is another tool that, in the bars of aluminum instead of the bars on the xylophone, which are often made of wood or made out. Like several other instruments, has the vibraphone, a pedal that is used, how long a bar control can produce a sound. When the pedal to the noise that the bars will be short, because the pedal dampingthe sound, and when the pedal down, the bars are not muted, and it will continue for a longer period.
